Description

Understand electricity through the same experiments that early scientists used. Create an electromagnet and learn about how they work, what they are used for and how so many things we use require electromagnets to function. Wind a coil of wire and suspend a bar magnet in it. Charge the coil with a battery to spin the magnet and test polarity. Discover the origins of motors and test out the strength of your electromagnet.
