How do you make a magnet out of metal?

It can't be just any metal - it has to be iron. If you wrap a copper wire around iron, and the copper wire is attached to an electricity source, you can create an electromagnet.


Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?

No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.


What a magnet does?

A magnet attracts other metal objects to it. This is done by combining the following materials: iron, boron, and neodymium. These materials make a magnet, and a magnet can also be made by rapping a copper wire around iron and running electricity through it, making an electromagnet.

How can a copper magnet be used to generate electricity?

A copper magnet can be used to generate electricity by moving it through a coil of wire. This movement creates a changing magnetic field, which induces an electric current in the wire according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. The electric current produced can then be used as a source of electrical power.
