In an electromagnet, the negative side of the coil is said to "emit" the magnetic field lines- it is the north pole of the electromagnet. However, in alternating current, the energized wire alternates between positive and negative. As a result, a conventional electromagnet running on alternating current would constantly be undergoing a reversal of the poles.

Can a solar panel be used to power a magnet?

It depends on the amount of sunlight and the amount of electricity the panel can make if the magnet is an electromagnet, but it is possible.


Is electromagnet used in iron box?

Yes, an electromagnet is commonly used in an iron box. The electromagnet generates heat when electricity passes through it, which then heats up the metal plate at the bottom of the iron box to iron clothes.


How is a turbine used currently?

a turbine puts pressurized steam in a shaft where it rotates to form electricity with a simontaneous rotation of an electromagnet which together forms electricity.


What is difference between of Electromagnet and Electric Magnetic Field?

An electromagnet is a magnet that only generates magnetic forces when electricity is running through it, basically a magnet that can be turned on and off. An electromagnetic field is the magnetic force generated when an electromagnet is used.


What material is used to make an electromagnet?

Electromagnets are typically made using a coil of wire carrying an electric current. The wire is often made of copper due to its high conductivity and flexibility. Additionally, a core material such as iron or steel is commonly used to enhance the magnetic properties of the electromagnet.


How can you make an electromagnet rotate?

To make an electromagnet rotate, you can place it in the proximity of a permanent magnet. When a current flows through the electromagnet, it interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, causing the electromagnet to rotate. This setup can be used in devices like electric motors and generators.

How is electromagnet the same as permanent?

An electromagnet is only magnetic while current is flowing through the coils. A permanent magnet is always magnetic, and does not need electricity. An example of an electromagnet at work is in a metal scrape yard, where a large electromagnet is used by a crane operator to lift ferrous metals into a crusher (scrapped cars, for instance). The metal drops into the crusher when the electricity is switched off by the crane operator. Therefore, they are only really similar when both are magnetised.


How hydropower is used to produce electricity?

Water is filtered through a slot that has a pinwheel-type object. The water flows through and spins the wheel, and an electromagnet is placed at the end, producing electricity.


Would spinning the loops on an electromagnet make it stronger?

Spinning the loops on an electromagnet will not make it stronger. The strength of an electromagnet depends on factors such as the number of loops in the coil, the current passing through the coils, and the core material used in the electromagnet. Spinning the loops will not change these factors.
