Hi, I'm Abby Beam with more science news you can use.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Let's make an electromagnet.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Does an electromagnet work like a regular magnet?

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Yes and no. Let's figure it out.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:22,000
We'll use a dry cell battery, a nailer bolt made of iron, some wire, and a few paper clips.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
Coil the wire around the bolt, then attach one end of the wire to the battery.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Pull the bolt over the paper clips and then attach the other end of the wire to the other terminal of the battery.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Now the bolt is a magnet.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Now disconnect one of the wires to see what happens.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000
So the iron bolt is an electromagnet when there's electricity flowing through the coil of wire.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
But the magnetism stops when the electricity is turned off.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Well, yes.

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Until next time, I'm Abby Beam with more science news you can use.
