An electromagnet consists of three main components: a battery, wire, and metal nail. Here’s the role of each component in the electromagnet:
- **Battery (B. Power Source):** The battery acts as the power source for the electromagnet. It provides the necessary electrical energy that powers the circuit.
- **Wire (A. Conducts Electricity):** The wire conducts electricity from the battery. When the circuit is closed, the electric current flows through the wire, creating a magnetic field around it.
- **Metal Nail (C. Magnet):** The metal nail serves as the magnet. When the wire carries electric current, the nail becomes magnetized due to the magnetic field created by the current in the wire, allowing it to attract magnetic materials.
