A magnet can be made by magnetizing a material which isattracted to a magnet, e.g. a paper clip.
Stroke a magnet along the paperclip from one end to theother and then starting from the same place, repeat the
movement. The more times this is done, the moremagnetic the clip becomes.
Hold a nail in a magnetic field and hit it with a hammer.
Put a magnetic material in a strong magnetic field.

Making an electromagnet
When electricity is passed through a coil of wire, the coil hasa magnetic field around it. This is called an electromagnet.
If the coil of wire is wrapped around a piece of iron, such asan iron nail, the magnetic field gets stronger.

An iron core at the centre of a coil of wire increases thestrength of an electromagnet.
Two experiments can be carried out to investigate the otherfactors that can affect the strength of an electromagnet:
Investigating an electromagnet
1. Investigate how the number of coils affects thenumber of paper clips attracted to an electromagnet keep the current the same in this experiment.
2. Investigate how the size of the current affects thenumber of paper clips attracted to an electromagnet

this is an electromagnet.
Electromagnets summary
wrap the coil of wire around an iron core;
increase the number of coils;
increase the size of the current.
3. An electromagnet can be easily turned on and off.This is why electromagnets can be used inscrapyards and as switches in electrical devices.

The direction of the force acting on a wire in anelectromagnetic field can be reversed by:
The direction of the force is therefore relative to both thedirection of the magnetic field and the current.

What are electric motors?
How many items do you own that contain an electric motor?
An electric motor is a device thatconverts electrical energy into
mechanical energy to produce aturning effect.
Most motors are powered using direct
current (DC), which is produced bycells and batteries.
Motors powered by mains electricity
use alternating current (AC).These motors use electromagnetsrather than permanent magnets.

When current flows through a wire held in a magnetic field,a force is created that moves the wire.
The opposite is also possible: if a
wire is moved across a magneticfield, a current is produced. This iscalled electromagnetic induction.
Induction also occurs if a magnet ismoved in a coil of wire, or if a coil ofwire rotates in a magnetic field.
In all these methods of inducing a current, the wire andmagnetic field move perpendicular to each other. If theymove parallel to each other, no current is induced.

A generator is a device that converts mechanical energyinto electrical energy. It is the opposite of an electric motor.
Power stations use generators
to produce electricity on a largescale. Mechanical energy isprovided by rotating turbinesthat can be powered by:
high-pressure steam incoal, oil, gas and nuclearpower stations
wind in wind turbines
falling water in hydroelectric power stations
