Assignment: Build an Electromagnet and a Motor Investigation

Electromagnet
1. How many paper clips did the wire wrapped around the nail just a few times pick up?

2. Which electromagnet design was most successful in picking up the most paper clips?

3. Would wrapping the wire more times around the nail make the electromagnet stronger or weaker?

4. What do you think the result would be if an iron nail that was much thicker was used?

5. What do you think would happen if a wooden stick was chosen as the core instead of the iron nail?

Motor
1. Describe the components that are necessary to make a motor run? What do they each provide? (example: battery provides voltage source)


2. Describe how the homemade motor makes mechanical energy from electrical energy.





3. What are three appliances in your house that use a motor that turns electrical energy into mechanical energy?

Respuesta :

All the paper clips, coiled wire with nail and wrapping or coiling the wire more times are the correct answers.

All the paper clips will the wire wrapped around the nail just a few times pick up. A coiled wire with nail in the center is the electromagnet design which is most successful in picking up the most paper clips. Wrapping or coiling the wire more times around the nail make the electromagnet more stronger.

If an iron nail that was much thicker was used, it will make the magnet stronger that leads to strong electromagnetism. There are three main parts that is necessary for making a motor i.e. a rotor, a stator and a commutator.

These three parts use the attractive and repulsive forces of electromagnetism, causing the motor to spin continually as long as it receives a steady flow of electric current. Motors comprise of loops of wire in a magnetic field.

When current is passed through the loops, the magnetic field exerts a torque on the loops, which rotates the shaft that leads to the generation of electricity. Water pump, mixer and washing machine are three appliances in your house that use a motor that turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.
