Study Notes

Magnets

A magnet is an object that attracts metallic substances with two opposite ends, called poles.
The opposite poles of two magnets repel each other, while unlike poles attract.

Interaction with Electric Current

A compass behaves differently when placed over a wire, indicating the effect of an electric current.

Hans Christian Oersted's Experiment

Hans Christian Oersted's experiment demonstrated the magnetic field created by an electric current flowing through a wire.

Electromagnets

An electromagnet consists of a metal, a coil or wire, and an electricity source.
In an electromagnet, the magnetic field exists only when electric current is flowing.
