MAKE AN ELECTROMAGNET
You will require
A huge iron nail (around 3 inches)
Around 3 feet of THIN COATED copper wire
A new D size battery
Some paper cuts or other little attractive items
What to do
1. Leave around 8 creeps of wire free toward one side and wrap the greater part of the remainder of the wire around the nail. Make an effort not to cover the wires.
2. Cut the wire (if necessary) so that there is about another 8 inches free at the opposite end as well.
3. Presently expel about an inch of the plastic covering from the two closures of the wire and connect the one wire to one finish of a battery and the other wire to the opposite finish of the battery. See picture underneath. (It is ideal to tape the wires to the battery – be cautious however, the wire could get extremely hot!)
4. Presently you have an ELECTROMAGNET! Put the purpose of the nail almost a couple of paper clasps and it should lift them up!
NOTE: Making an electromagnet uses up the battery to some degree rapidly which is the reason the battery may get warm, so detach the wires when you are finished investigating.
How can it work?
Most magnets, similar to the ones on numerous fridges, can't be killed, they are called perpetual magnets. Magnets like the one you made that can be turned on and off, are called ELECTROMAGNETS. They keep running on power and are just attractive when the power is streaming. The power coursing through the wire orchestrates the particles in the nail with the goal that they are pulled in to specific metals. NEVER get the wires of the electromagnet close at family outlet! Be sheltered – have some good times!
MAKE IT AN EXPERIMENT
The undertaking above is a DEMONSTRATION. To make it a genuine investigation, you can attempt to address these inquiries:
1. Does the occasions you fold the wire over the nail influence the quality of the nail?
2. Does the thickness or length of the nail influence the electromagnets quality?
3. Does the thickness of the wire influence the intensity of the electromagnet?
