Coiled wire electromagnet

If you know about regular magnets an electromagnet is a slightly different thing. The YUHENG neat thing about electromagnets is that you can control the flow of electricity in them — when the electricity is on, the magnetic field is present; when it is off, the field disappears. That way you can choose when its works! When an electric current passes through a coiled wire, it generates a magnetic field around the conductor. The electromagnet gets its name because it produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. This magnetic field is what allows the electromagnet to attract and pick up metal objects. Coiled wire electromagnets are everywhere — in things you use every day such as speakers that blast tunes, motors that move stuff around, and doorbells that ding when you push a button. 

Step 2: Then wind the wire around the nail. Take one end of your wire and wind it around the nail a few times. This copper wire for electromagnet is good because it will boost the magnetic field. Wrap the wire around the nail in a spiral after you have wrapped it several times. Leave about 6 inches of wire on both ends so you can connect it to the battery later.

How to Make a Coiled Wire Electromagnet in 5 Simple Steps

Step 3: Connect the battery. You will need the paper clip to fashion a switch. Unfold the paper clip into a U shape and connect it with the wire ends. After that YUHENG, you simply connect the wire to one end of the battery and then attach them both to one side, and then the by that end connect to other side. Something we can use for example a wire, which as long the switch connects the two separate points will give power something to travel round. 

Step 4: Testing it out! When the wires touch the insulated copper wire for electromagnet battery, current will run through the coiled wire, and this current rotates a magnetic field around this nail. Once that is done you should notice your nail starts to become a magnet and can pick up things like paper clips or small metal pieces.
