Electromagnets What is an electromagnet? What is an electromagnet? A temporary magnetic field that occurs around an object when an electric current flows through that object. What is a magnet? What is a magnet? A conductor that attracts objects made of steel or iron. Magnets have 2 poles (north and south) and store permanent magnetic fields. Work with a partner to construct an electromagnet with the materialsconstruct an electromagnet you’ve been given. Which independent variables can you manipulate? How will your independent variables effect your dependent variable? Test your magnet by picking up paper clips. How many paper clips can you pick up? SAFETY FIRST!SAFETY FIRST!

Electromagnets Explained An electromagnet starts with a battery and a wire. The battery produces electrons that flow through the wire. An electromagnet starts with a battery and a wire. The battery produces electrons that flow through the wire.battery Batteries have two terminals: positive (marked “+”) and negative (marked “–”). Electrons collect at the negative terminal of the battery and flow to the positive terminal through a wire. Batteries have two terminals: positive (marked “+”) and negative (marked “–”). Electrons collect at the negative terminal of the battery and flow to the positive terminal through a wire. If you attach a wire directly between the positive and negative terminals of a battery the electrons will flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal as fast as they can and the battery will drain in minutes. For that reason, it’s not a good idea to connect the two terminals of a battery to one directly. Usually, some kind of load (motor, bulb, etc.) is connected in the middle of the wire so the electrons can be used.

It is this small magnetic field that is the basis of an electromagnet. A small magnetic field is generated in the wire when it is attached to a battery.
