In this investigation, it's the coils of wire carrying a current that are behaving like a magnet. When electric current flows through the coils of wire, it creates a magnetic field around them, making them act like magnets. You can test this by bringing a compass close to the coils. If the compass needle moves, that shows that there is a magnetic field created by the current in the wire. The battery provides the power for the current to flow through the wire, but it's the coils themselves that are acting like magnets.
For this investigation, is it the Battery or the Coils of wire carrying a current that are behaving like a magnet? (Hint: Use the magnetic field and compass to help you decide.)
