Electromagnets
  • An electromagnet is made by wrapping a wire around a magnetic material, such as iron. The wire that is wrapped around is a called a coil. The material in the middle of the coil is called the core.

Poles of an electromagnet
You can find out which pole is which in two simple ways.
  • Use a magnetic compass. A magnetic compass points along magnetic field lines, so will point towards the south pole.
  • Use a bar magnet with known poles. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel so, by bringing the bar magnet close to the electromagnet, you can detect which pole is which.

Slide 22 - Slide

Give one way how you can find out which pole is in an electromagnet.
