What’s a magnet?
A substance that produces a magnetic field and attracts iron
What’s a permanent magnet
A magnet that can retain its magnetism after the magnetizing force has been removed
What’s a temporary magnet?
A magnet that retains only trace amounts of magnetism after the magnetizing force has been removed
What is Electromagnetism?
The magnetism produced when electric current passes through a conductor
What are the 3 ways to increase the strength of the magnetic field in a coil (magnetism)?
- Increase the amount of current by increasing the voltage
- Increase the number of turns in the coil
- Insert an iron core through the coil.
