  1. Electromagnets • What is magnetism? • Created by moving electrons • Has north and south poles

  2. What is magnetism? • In magnetic materials like Iron • Groups of atoms join together • The magnetic field of each atom adds together to create a larger magnetic field

  3. How do you make a magnet? • In unmagnetized iron, the magnetic fields of the domains point all different directions • To create a magnet

  4. Electromagnets • Electricity and magnetism are related • Electric current in a wire creates a magnetic field

  5. Electromagnets • Creates a magnetic (force) field

  6. Electromagnets • A coiled wire creates a greater magnetic field

  7. Electromagnets • One use of electromagnets is doorbells

  8. Electromagnets • Scrapmetal cranes also use electromagnets

  9. Electromagnets • Loudspeakers are also electromagnets

  10. Electromagnets • House telephones are also electromagnets

  11. Electromagnets • Energy transfer • Electromagnets transfer what kind of energy to which? • To _____________? • Creates a force that can move iron things
