Resumo de Recurso

magnets and electromagnets
  1. bar magnets
    1. permanent magnets
      1. magnets are made from magnetic material.these are metals that can be magnetised or will be attracted to a magnet.most materials are not magnetic,but iron,cobalt,nickel and steel are.
        1. attract and repel
          1. if you bring 2 magnets together 2 things can happen-attract or repel.
        2. magnetic fields
          1. magnets create magnetic fields.these cant be seen.they fill the space around a magnet where the magnetic forces work,where they can attract or repel
            1. although we cannot see them,we can detect them with iron filings.the tiny pieces of iron line up in a magnetic field.
            2. electromagnets
              1. when an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire.by winding the wire into a coil we can srengthen the magnetic field.electrommagnets are made from coils like this.we can strengthen the electromagnet wrapping the coil around a iron core.-adding more turns to the coil.-increasing the current.
                1. magnetic field
                  1. the magnetic field of an electromagnet is like a bar magnet one however it can change direction
                    1. unlike bar magnets that are permanent magnets,electromagnets can be turned o and off by closing or opening the switch.
                  2. electric bells
                    1. electric bells have an electromagnet.
                      1. 1)the current flows through the circuit,the electromagnet makes a magnetic field.
                        1. 2)electromagnet attracts the springly metal arm.
                          1. 3)the arm hits the gong,which makes a sound.
                            1. 4)the circuit is broken.the arm is out of position.
                              1. 5)electromagnet turned off and the springly metal arm moves back.
                                1. 6) the circuit is complete again.
