Sample Questions
Which of the following are true about electromagnets?
Show answer
They work only when current flows through them, They have north and south poles, Iron core makes them stronger
Electromagnets are temporary magnets that work only when current flows. Like permanent magnets, they have poles. An iron core increases their magnetic strength.
What makes an electromagnet stronger?
Show answer
Increasing the number of turns in the coil, Using more cells (higher current), Adding an iron core
Electromagnet strength increases with more coil turns, higher current, and an iron core. Wire thickness doesn't directly affect magnetic strength.
