An electromagnet is a coil of wire with a current running through it. This creates an electromagnetic field. An additional magnet and its poles interact with the electromagnet, causing an electromagnetic motor to rotate. What are some ways you could make an electromagnetic motor stronger, and how could you apply these principles to everyday life? In three to five sentences, explain this phenomenon in real life and hypothesize about how you could strengthen it.

Answer 1

To make an electromagnetic motor stronger, you could increase the number of turns in the wire coil, increase the current flowing through the wire, or increase the strength of the permanent magnet interacting with the electromagnet. In everyday life, this principle is applied in many devices that require the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy, such as electric motors, generators, and transformers. To strengthen this phenomenon, you could use stronger permanent magnets, or use superconductive wire to reduce resistance and increase the current flow.
