What This Module is About
Electricity and magnets are closely related to each other. Electricity can
produce magnets while magnets can produce electricity.
How is this made possible? In this module you will learn how electricity can be
made to produce magnets.

How to Learn from this Module
Here’s a simple guide for you in going about the module:
1. Read and follow the instructions very carefully
2. Take the pre-test. It is a simple multiple-choice test provided at the start
to determine how much you know about the content of this module.
3. Check your answers against the correct answers provided at the last
page of the module.
4. Be very honest in taking the test so you will know how much knowledge
you already have about the topic.
5. Read the different lessons included in this module.
6. Perform all the activities, as these will help you have a better
understanding of the topic.
7. Take the self-test at the end of each lesson.
8. Finally, take the post-test at the end of the module

Infer that electricity can produce magnetism
Identify the parts of an electromagnet
What’s In
If you ever spill pins on a rug, you will find that a magnet is good to have. A
magnet can pick up objects with iron in them, such as steel pins.
But normally you don’t have magnets at home. So, you can instead make use
of an electromagnet. It is just a temporary magnet.
What’s New
What to do:
1. Wind (coil) the electric wire 12-15 times around the nail. Remove one
centimeter of insulation from both ends of the wire.
2. Attach one end of the wire to the positive terminal of the battery and the other
end to the negative terminal to complete the circuit.
3. Bring the nail near the pins and other metallic objects. Observe how the
materials behave.
4. Predict what would happen if the wire was detached from the dry cells.

What Is It
A simple electromagnet can be made using a dry cell, copper wire coiled around
a metal rod such as a nail.
The electricity that passes through the coiled wire around the nail produces a
magnetic field that causes the nail to act like a magnet. But unlike an ordinary magnet,
an electromagnet can be turned off and on.
An electromagnet operates only when there is a flow of electricity in the coil of
wire. When electricity stops flowing through the coil of wire, the nail stops attracting
any metal on magnetic material.

Activity 4: Making an Electromagnet / Super Strong
What to do:
1. Connect the 3 batteries using a tape.
2. With the supervision of any adult at home, detach the insulator of the wire. Use
the sandpaper to fully remove the insulation in both ends of the wire.
3. Coil the wire around the nail many times until enough is left to connect to the
battery.
4. Place the iron nail coil near pieces of scissors, pliers, and hammer.
5. Observe what happens.
Guide Questions:
1. Compare the two electromagnets you have. What difference can you cite?
2. How do the materials affect the electromagnet?
3. How can we make an electromagnet stronger?

What to do:
1. Get the iron nail and touch it to the paper clips and staple wire. Observe what
happens.
2. Get the wire and wrap it tightly around the nail once. Touch the staples with it.
Are the staples attracted to it?
3. Experiment with different number of coils around the nails (10, 20, 30). Observe
what happens. See how many staples are attracted each time.
4. Do the same process (numbers 2 and 3) using two batteries and the rod.
