Making Electromagnets





By: Treyton Wilson
A couple of days ago we experimented on how to make an electromagnet. We got all of the materials we needed, a wire, a battery, a nail, some tape, and finally some paperclips. First we tape the two ends of the wire to the two ends of the battery. Next we coil the wire to give the electromagnet more power. Then we slide the nail through the coils and we now have an electromagnet. Now we try to see if the new electromagnet picks up any paperclips. Success!! Let's try to coil the wire more and see if it can pick up more than two. Good. Try experimenting with your new electromagnet!:)
