Controlling Electromagnets

• Goals:

Determine the factors that affect the strength of an electromagnet.

• Real-World Problem:

The strength of the magnetic field can be made stronger or weaker by adjusting the

following: number of turns, current, wire length, and metal core. According to the

equation F=ILBsinθ, as these factors increase, the strength of the magnetic field increases.

While as they decrease, the strength of the magnetic field decreases.

• Hypothesis:

There are 4 main factors that affect the strength of the magnetic field: number of turns,

current, wire length, and metal core.

• Testing Hypothesis:

Increasing the number of turns of the wire, the current, the wire length, or changing the

metal core to a more permeable metal, will all result in a stronger electromagnetic field.

However, decreasing the number of turns of the wire, the current supplied, the wire

length, or changing the metal core to a less permeable metal, will all result in a weaker

electromagnetic field.

• Conclude and Apply:

1. When the electromagnet is constructed of an insulated wire coiled around an iron nail

and supplied with a 6 V DC battery, the magnetic field observed was stronger and able

to hod more steel clips that when the electromagnet was supplied with only 1.5 V DC

battery. This shows that the higher the voltage/current supply, the stronger the

electromagnetic field is.

Moreover, when the wire is loosely coiled around the iron nail, the magnetic field was

weaker and was able to hold fewer steel clips than that when the coil was tightly

wrapped around the iron nail. This indicates that as the number of coils increases, the

magnetic field increases.

In addition, keeping the voltage and number of wires constant, while changing the

metal core of the electromagnet from the iron nail to the aluminum nail, decreases

the strength of the magnetic field since iron is more permeable and more attracted

to magnets than aluminum.

2. The features that had the greatest effect on the magnetic field strength are the

number of turns, the strength of the voltage, and the metal core since magnetic field
