... for being a magnet, the direction of the field is determined by 'Right Hand Rule' that determines the direction of the field by looking at the direction of the current. If the current is flowing vertically upwards, the field is anti-clockwise, and thus if the current is flowing downwards, the field id going clockwise. If one closes his right hand, the thumb is the direction of the current, and the fingers indicate the direction of the field, going around in a circle. This magnetic field magnetizes the metal and the metal becomes a magnet. This starts off with electricity, therefore magnet is called electromagnet. Uses of electromagnets · Electric bells · Telephones · Sorting scrap metals (to extract iron, steel, nickel from others metals and non-metals) Planning Experimental procedures The quantity that I am intending to investigate in my experiment is the strength of the electromagnet The factors that ...
