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 turn. 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.
One way to make an electromagnetic motor stronger is by increasing the number of turns in the coil, which would increase the strength of the magnetic field. This principle can be applied in everyday life by increasing the number of coils in an electromagnet used for scrapyard work or junkyard cargo lifting machines. Another way to increase the strength of the electromagnet is by using a stronger magnet, such as one made of neodymium, which could be used in various medical equipment. You could also increase the current running through the coil, which would require a stronger power source and might be useful in electric vehicle motors.
