Electromagnets




Today we made electromagnets by wrapping an iron nail with copper wire and attaching it to a battery. The nail became a magnet, because the battery sent energy through the copper wire, and gave the nail magnetic energy.

Reflection questions:

What is magnetism?

What does it mean to attract?

What does it mean to repel?

How do we use magnets?

How can you classify metals based on their magnetic properties?
