What was wrapped an iron bar to create the first electromagnet?

Coils of wire


The first electromagnet was made up of a bar of iron with a of wire wrapped around it.?

coil


What is the uses of an electromagnet?

There are many uses for an Electromagnet. The first thing that comes to my mind is the old movies at the car demolition sites were you see that huge Electromagnet pick up the car of the assailant, or the hero in some cases, and put them in the compactor or shredder.Electromagnets are also used in electronic lock applications, and also in particle accelerators.


What happens if the current of an electromagnet is changed?

The field strength of an electromagnet (and the shape of that field) will largely be determined by the physical characteristics and geometry of the coil (wire size, number of turns, spacing of turns, diameter of coil, etc.), the current flow through the coil's wire and the material and shape of the core. The most variable aspect of the electromagnet is the current we run through it. Once the electromagnet is designed and constructed, the limits are "built in" and about all we can vary is current. Use the link to the GSU Hyperphysics site and it's diagram of an electromagnet. (Be sure to scroll down a bit.) Also, look around on that site, if you have time. There is a lot of good basic physics there. The explanations are very reader friendly and the diagrams are pretty good, too.


How does electromagnet work in separation?

How does electromagnet work in separation? It is when calcinations is moved into a moving belt and passes under two pairs of electromagnets. The first pair of eleronmagnets is to draw off any iron ore the second pair attracts the wolframite.

Who invented the first electromagnet motor?

British scientist William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1824.[7][8] His first electromagnet was a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with about 18 turns of bare copper wire


What is the difference in a common bar magnet and an electromagnet?

The comon bar magnet has two poles, and the electromagnet can be turned on and off also the electromagnet uses electricity to create a magnetic field in the first place. so the difference is normal magnet cant be turned on and off but the electromagnet can. does that answer ur question?


How can a simple electromagnet be made?

first, you have to have a ferromagnetic core, like an iron bolt. then, you wind a magnetic wire around it. the thicker the winding, the stronger the magnet. the tips of the wire should be protruding so you can connect it to a source. skin the tips of the wire, too. connect the wire to a dc source and you got an electromagnet.

Can you give me a sentence with electromagnet in it?

Some sentences using the noun 'electromagnet'include:'The English physicist, William Sturgeon, first demonstrated his invention, the electromagnet, in 1824.''Sturgeon used a thin cylinder of iron, curved into a loop and wrapped in copper wire, to make his electromagnet.''Today, electromagnets are used in everyday equipment ranging from delicate medical and scientific instruments to simple locks.''One of the most common everyday use of an electromagnetis in transformers.'
