A Study was done with an electromagnet system made from a battery and wire wrapped around a nail. Different sizes of nails were used the number of paper clips that the electromagnet could pick up?
i am pretty sure the size of nail doesn't matter.
If you have a a magnet stuck to the nail then a paper clip stuck to the nail then you take the magnet away and the nail in the paper clip are still together why did that happen?
this happens because the magnet has magnetised the nail
How can you make an electromagnetic device?
by taking a nail and rap it around the nail and then something metal after get a battery and a switch
What happens if you bring two iron nails close or touching each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
A wire that carries electricity and is coiled around a nail makes a simple?
electromagnet
What will happen if you connect a nail wrapped in coil to the negative side of a battery?
Nothing will happen. Your question is not properly worded.
What is a nail wrapped around a wire and connected to a battery called?
it is called an electromagnet
What would happen if you took wires and made a long strand then wrapped them around a metal nail then finally connect them to a battery?
You would succeed in making a simple electro-magnet that uses the copper wire as a conducter for the elctricity that comes from the battery,the nail on coming in contact with the wire which is wrapped around it harnesses the elecric power being provided by the battery via the copper wire and an magnetic field around the nail is created, hence the name electro-magnet!
What happens when a nail wrapped around with magnesium is placed in salt water?
It gets wet.
Why doesn't my electromagnet work when i only wrapped the wire around the nail for ten times?
If there are only a few wraps, the magnetic field will be weaker than if there are many more wraps.
What does an enameled wire that's wrapped around an iron nail connected to an electrical circuit create?
An electromagnet.
What is a nail called when wrapped around a fence post?

Will a nail rust if you wrapped it in wet cotton?
Yes of course!
What increase the strength of a copper electromagnetic?
One way to increase the strength of a copper electromagnet is by adding another coil. Another way is by wrapping the copper coil around a nail made of iron.Adding more loops to the wireWrapping the copper wire around an iron nailIncreasing the current

Electromagnet does the number of times you wrap the wire around the nail affect th strength of the nail?
the more times you wrap it the stronger it will become. less wraps less powerful
