What happens when a wire is wound into a coil around an iron core in an electromagnet?

the magnetic field becomes stronger

the magnetic field becomes weaker

How do you make an electromagnet?

wrap an iron nail in wire and connect it to a power source.

wrap a battery in wire and connect it to an iron nail.

wrap a wire with another wire and connect it to an iron nail.

wrap an iron nail in wire and connect it to another iron nail.

What would happen if I move a bar magnet in and out of a coil of copper wire?

Electric current will flow through the wire

Electric current would disappear

It would produce a gravitational field

How could the experimenter increase the amount of electricity being induced by this experiment?

Nothing, the amount of electricity cannot be increased

The voltmeter is at 0 in this image. How would you manipulate the experiment to create electricity (measured in volts)?

Flip the magnet around so the North pole is facing out

Add more coils around the paper cylinder

What is one way to increase the current in a wire?

Take the wire off of the magnet

Can you produce current in a wire with a magnet that is sitting still?

No; the magnetic field has to be changing to excite the electrons

Yes; having a magnet near a wire is enough to excite the electrons

No; magnets cannot create electricity

Why is magnetic induction important?

Electromagnets are very versatile

Every electric motor uses induction

Because it's an easy way to produce electricity

What can electromagnets do that regular magnets can't?

They are both the same in every way
