Science 5 Quarter 3 Module 7 Week 7 Electromagnet Let's Understand (Study The Concept)

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet created when an electric current flows through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. Electromagnets are used in many devices like phones, radios, TVs, generators, transformers, motors, and cranes. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by using more coils of wire, more batteries to provide more current, or a larger iron core. When disconnected from the power source, an electromagnet will stop attracting materials.

QUARTER 3 MODULE 7 WEEK 7


ELECTROMAGNET

Let’s Understand (Study the Concept)

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that may be produced by making


electricity flow through a wire coiled around an iron nail.

Uses of Electromagnet

Many appliances, modern gadgets, and even toys are made of electromagnets.
Electromagnets are used in transmitting signals through telephones, radio, and
television. Commercial establishment make use of generators, transformers, and
motors which are made of electromagnets. A crane lifts heavy objects is also made of
an electromagnet.

How to Make Electromagnet Stronger?

An electromagnet can be made stronger by using more coils of wire. Each turn
of the wire adds more force to the electromagnet. The number of dry cells also affects
the strength of an electromagnet. More dry cells mean more electrons flowing in the
electromagnet and, therefore, stronger magnetism is produced. The size of the iron core
also matters. The greater the size of the iron core, the stronger magnetism an
electromagnet has.

Let’s Analyze

1. What is an electromagnet?
