Electromagnetism

Study the diagram of an electromagnet. Identify what each component does in the circuit. 1. Has potential energy to run the circuit

2.Controls the flow of electricity by opening and closing the circuit

3.Becomes a temporary magnet

4.Provides the pathway to carry the electricity from component to component

. Put a check next to each statement that describes evidence that electricity is flowing:

Which circuit will light the bulb?

What is the energy source in this circuits?

A student set a compass on top of a wire not yet connected in a circuit. When she connected the wire to the positive side of the D-cell, the compass needle moved. Why did the compass needle change position when the circuit was closed?

Check each statement that describes where electricity

flows in an electromagnet.

The graph shows the results of an investigation with an electromagnet. What pattern does the data show?
