Henal Rajendra Patel CENTRE NUMBER: 14625 CANDIDATE NUMBER: 0127 'Investigate the factors which affect the strength of an electromagnet' An electromagnet can also be called a solenoid. An electromagnet can consist of just one wire, but usually an electromagnet is made up of wire coiled around a soft ferromagnetic core. TASK & AIM: An electromagnet can be used to pick up objects. I will choose a factor which will affect the strength of an electromagnet I have made and investigate how it affects the strength of your electromagnet. THE FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF AN ELECTROMAGNET: * Amount of Current * Length of the core * Diameter * Thickness of the wire used for the coils * Type of core * Number of turns on the electromagnet I will vary the number of turns on the electromagnet as that is the factor I have chosen to study, and I will keep the other factors constant. I feel...
