1, material: nail or iron wire, insulated wire, battery or power adapter, switch, magnetic substance (such as magnet). Steps: First, you need to prepare an iron nail or wire. This is the core part of electromagnet, which will absorb and store electric energy. Then, you need to wrap the wire tightly around the nail or wire.
Remember, both ends of the wire should be long enough so that you can connect to the power supply. Next, you need to connect one end of the wire to the positive pole of the battery or power adapter, and the other end to the negative pole. In this way, current can flow through the wire and enter the nail or wire.
Now, you need to turn on the power. This will cause current to flow and generate a magnetic field. Finally, you need to put magnetic substances (such as magnets) near nails or wires. You should be able to see that when current passes, magnetic substances will be attracted by nails or iron wires.

1. Electromagnet is a device that uses current to generate magnetic field, which is mainly composed of coil and iron core. When the current passes through the coil, it will produce a magnetic field around it, which will attract the iron core and make the electromagnet magnetic.
2. The working principle of electromagnet is electromagnetic induction principle. When the current passes through the coil, the current in the coil will produce a magnetic field, which is related to the current and the number of turns of the coil. If the direction of current changes, the direction of magnetic field will also change. This is the principle of electromagnetic induction.
3. Electromagnets are widely used. In industry, electromagnets are often used to adsorb iron objects, such as parts on production lines or minerals in mines. In electronic equipment, electromagnets are often used in relays, solenoid valves and other components. In addition, electromagnets are widely used in medicine and scientific research.
4. The advantage of electromagnet is that it can control the intensity and direction of magnetic field, and it is small in size, light in weight, simple in structure and convenient to use. However, electromagnets also have their shortcomings, such as high energy consumption, low efficiency, easy to heat up and so on. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of electromagnet and reduce energy consumption is an important subject of current research.
