Q

What is a mixture

A

A mixture is when a number of elements are together in one place but not chemically joined together the individual elements keep there properties and you can change the amounts of each element. You wouldn’t need a chemical reaction to separate them

By making more loops with the wire
By having a core at the centre of the wire
By adding a larger amount of current through the wire

83
Q

What are the two differences between electro magnets and permanent magnets

A

You can turn electro magnets on and off

You can enhance electron magnets to make them stronger than permanent magnets

84
