An iron-core solenoid is an electromagnet. TRUE or FALSE?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the statement 'An iron-core solenoid is an electromagnet' is true or false. An iron-core solenoid, which consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it, thus functioning as an electromagnet.
Answer
TRUE
The statement is TRUE.
Answer for screen readers
The statement is TRUE.
More Information
The presence of an iron core significantly increases the magnetic field strength of a solenoid, turning it into an electromagnet. This makes the solenoid much more effective as a magnet.
