Study Notes

Electromagnetism is the study of electromagnetic force.
Electricity can produce magnets while magnets can produce electricity.
A magnet is usually made of iron and can attract other iron and steel objects.
A nail iron can be turned into an electromagnet by coiling wire around it and letting electricity flow through it.
An electromagnet is temporary and stops attracting metal when electricity stops flowing through the wire.
The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by using more coils of wire and more dry cells.
Electromagnet-powered devices are used in industries and businesses such as cranes, cutters, fax machines, and computers.
Magnets are used in transportation systems such as trains, subways, trolleys, and monorails.
Maglev trains use electromagnets to float above tracks and eliminate friction, allowing them to run faster than ordinary trains.
Transformers use electromagnets to change high-voltage electricity to low-voltage electricity or vice versa.
