प्रश्न
What is an electromagnet?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The magnetic field produced due to the current flowing in a coil or a solenoid can be used to magnetize a material like soft iron temporarily. The insulated copper wire is wrapped on a soft iron piece. When current is passed through the coil using a battery and a key the iron piece behaves like a bar magnet as long as the current is being passed. Such a magnet is called an electromagnet.
उत्तर २
An electromagnet is a temporary magnet which behaves as a magnet when electric current is passed through the insulated copper wire and loses its magnetism when current is stopped. It has a soft iron piece called the core with an insulated copper wire wound on it.
