Document Summary

Strength of field depends on current and number of windings. Iron bar has magnetic domains that are normally randomly oriented. They can be oriented by an external magnetic field. This amplifies the total magnetic strength of the electromagnet. Move permanent magnet in and out of coil to change magnetic field inside coil. Changing magnetic field inside coil induces voltage across the coil. This voltage (and current) can power an electrical load (light bulb) Lenz"s law: current induced by a changing magnetic field always produces a magnetic field that opposes the change. If i push the magnet into the coil, the coil will try to push back. I need to do work on the magnet, this work gets transferred into electrical energy. Lenz"s law: harder to turn when there is a large load. The ratio of the two voltages is the same as the ratio of the number of turns on the coils.
