RECALL OF THE PREVIOUS LESSON

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Electromagnets
Three things that are needed to make an electromagnet:
  • a coil of wire
  • a magnetic core inside the coil
  • an electric current flowing in the coil.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Factors affecting the strength 
of an electromagnet.
  • A factor is another word for a variable that will affect something. 

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Factors affecting the strength 
of an electromagnet.
  • The number of turns in the coil. The more turns in the coil, the stronger the electromagnet.
  • The material of the core. Iron and some types of steel in the core make the strongest electromagnets.
  • The current in the coil. The greater the current, the stronger the electromagnet.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

What will you do to increase the strength of the electromagnet?
  • Increase the number of turns on the coil.
  • Use more cells to increase the current.
  • Use a soft iron core in place of a steel core.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Increase the number of turns on the coil.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Is soft iron really soft?
YES
NO
NOT SURE

Slide 13 - Poll

Is SOFT iron really soft?
  • Soft iron is not soft in the same way as modelling clay is soft. Soft iron is the term used for iron that is easily magnetised and also easily demagnetised.
  • Demagnetised means it has lost its magnetism.
