Question
How will you make an iron bar electromagnet? Draw a diagram showing the polarities of the electromagnet?
Solution
Take the given iron bar AB. Wound several turns of insulated copper wire over the bar. Connect the ends of the wire to a battery through a switch. Press the switch to pass current. After some time, the bar AB becomes a magnet.
The end A of the bar at which the current enters the coil in clock¬wise direction becomes the south pole (S) and the end B of the bar at which the current leaves the coil in anti-clockwise direc¬tion becomes the north pole (N).
