ELECTROMAGNET

Electromagnet in a type of magnet whose magnetic field is produced by the flow of current through it.



In this picture you can create a magnet by wrapping a wire in a steel or plastic tube and connecting the wire to a supply or battery.

There are three ways to make electromagnet more stronger:
a. By winding more wires around the tube
b. Increasing the flow of current in the wires
c. And by putting a soft iron inside the tube

Putting soft iron inside the tube creates more concentration of magnetic fields inside the tube and increases the magnetism.



There's a lot of things where you can see electromagnets like in generators, hospitals (MRI Scanner) , Factories etc.
