Write the letterof the correct schematic symbol to
its function.
1.Source of electricity.
2. Controls the flow of electricity from the source
( On/OFF).
3. The pathway of electricity from the source to the
load.
4. A device that uses electricity from the source.
Examine the picturebelow:
What are the different parts of the simple
electromagnet?
5.
All magnets belongto a group
of metals called the
ferromagnetic metals. These are
metals such as nickel and iron.
Each of these metals have the
special property of being able
to be magnetized uniformly.
6.
It can attractobjects such as pins,
coins, and other materials made up
of iron and steel. A nail is not a
magnet, but it can be turned into
one. This is done by coiling a wire
around it and then letting electricity
flow through it. Doing this turns the
nail into an electromagnet.
7.
An electromagnet attractslike a real
magnet. It can attract materials made of
metals like pins and thumbtacks. The iron
nail acts as magnet while electricity from
the battery is flowing through the coil of
wire. When electricity stops flowing through
the coil to the nail it can no longer attract
the pin and thumbtacks. Electromagnets
are temporary magnets.
8.
The Parts ofan Electromagnet
A basic electromagnet has three
main parts: an iron core, insulated
wire and a power sources.
1. Iron core. Its purpose is to
concentrate the magnetic flux
produced by the current in the
area outside the wires.
9.
2. Wire/ Insulatedwire. The wire serves as
the passage of the electric current
creating a magnetic field. The number of
turns of wire represents the power of the
electromagnet. The cable and wires
need to be insulated as it prevents the
current from coming into contact with
other conductors. It preserves the wire
material against environmental threats
and resists electrical leakage.
10.
3. Power source.It serves as
the source of electricity that
flows to the wire to create a
magnetic field. The amount of
current also affects the
strength of the
electromagnet.
11.
Directions: Fill inthe boxes with the materials that
make up an electromagnet. Choose your answer
form the words inside the box.
Using electromagnets, youcan create
all sorts of things, including motors,
solenoids, hard disks and tape drives,
speakers, and many others.
Electromagnets have many uses.
1. It is used to transmit signals, as in the
telegraph, telephone, radio, and
television.
14.
2. It isalso used for industrial purposes, such
as in motors, generators, and transformers.
3. The electromagnet in a crane is used to
lift heavy objects like metals, steel bars,
scrap iron, and cars.
4. Electromagnets are used in bells,
buzzers, chimes, circuit breakers, and other
electrical appliances in our homes.
5. Electromagnets run electric toys.
15.
REMEMBER THESE:
Anelectromagnet attracts like a real
magnet but it is a temporary magnet.
The iron nail acts as magnet while
electricity from the battery is flowing
through the coil of wire.
When electricity stops flowing through
the coil to the nail it can no longer attract
the pin and thumbtacks.
16.
An electromagnetcan be
made stronger by using more
coils of wire.
The number of battery or dry
cell also affects the strength of
an electromagnet.
Electromagnets are used in
our home appliances and
17.
Directions: Write TRUEif the statement
describes an electromagnet and FALSE
if not
__________1. Electromagnets are
temporary magnets.
___________2. Electromagnet attracts
the pins and thumbtacks when
electricity STOPS flowing from the
battery through the coil to the nail.
18.
___________3. Electromagnet is
madeof battery, coiled wire and
nail.
___________4. Electromagnet can
be made stronger by using more
coils of wire.
___________5. The number of dry cell
or battery CANNOT affect the
strength of an electromagnet.
Can we makea simple
electromagnet using the
following?
23.
Electricity can beused to produce
magnet. This kind of magnet is called
electromagnet. Iron nail with coiled
wire will not produce magnet. The
electricity from the battery used, flows
through the coiled and made the
metal and other magnetic materials
to be attracted to the iron nail.
26.
The electromagnet usesthe
magnetic effect of an
electric current. A wire
carrying current produces a
magnetic field in the region
around the wire.

It is saidthat an electromagnet is
temporary and is called an
artificial magnet. It is a magnet
that is only magnetic when an
electric current is flowing
through it. If the flow of the
current is cut off, the property of
magnetism stops.

How to makean electromagnet stronger?
An electromagnet can be made stronger by
using more coils of wire. Each turn of wire adds
more force to the electromagnet. The number of
battery or dry cell 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 has.
Procedure:
1. Prepare thefollowing materials.
2. Remove the insulator or cover of the
wire.
3. Get an iron nail wrap it with wire and
connect the battery at both ends of the
wire. Wrap with an electric tape.
4. place it near the staple wires.
Like an electromagnet, if you
want to increase the strength
add more coil around an iron
nail. In your relationship to your
family members and
friends ,how can you make
