Teaching Minds-On Experiments on Electromagnetism in Secondary Schools


Interaction between a magnet and a coil carrying an electric current

A coil carrying a current is attracted or repelled by a magnet according to the direction of the current.
The effect is amplified if we insert a core of magnetic iron material into the coil.
A coil carrying an electric current behaves as a bar magnet.
