What Is An Electromagnet

An electromagnet is a type of magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current passes through a coil of wire, and consists of a coil wrapped around an iron core; it is temporary and only magnetic when current is flowing. The three main parts of an electromagnet are an iron core to concentrate the magnetic flux, insulated wire for the electric current to pass through and create the magnetic field, and a power source to provide the electricity.

What is an Electromagnet?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in


which an electric current produces the
magnetic field. Electromagnets usually consist
of wire wounds into a coil. Professor Hans
Christian Oersted coined the term
electromagnetism in 1820. It refers to the
ability of a wire to carry electric current to
produce a magnetic current.
An electromagnet is temporary and is called an artificial magnet. It is a magnet
that is only magnetic when an electric current is flowing through it. If the flow
of the current is cut off, the property of magnetism stops.

The Parts of an Electromagnet


A basic electromagnet has three main parts: an iron core, insulated wire and a
power source.
1. Iron core. Its purpose is to concentrate the magnetic flux produced by the
current in the area outside the wires.
2. Wire/ Insulated wire. The wire serves as the passage of the electric current
creating a magnetic field. The number of turns of wire represents the power of
the electromagnet. The cable and wires need to be insulated as it prevents the
current from coming into contact with other conductors. It preserves the wire
material against environmental threats and resists electrical leakage.
3. Power source. It serves as the source of electricity that flows to the wire to
create a magnetic field. The amount of current also affects the strength of the
electromagnet.

Directions: Name the energy transformations for each illustration below.


You may use the words in the box as many times as needed.
The food that you eat provides you the energy to do work. You can run,
walk, swim, or do your homework and chores because of the chemical
energy you get from food. Even sleeping, breathing, and eating require
some energy from your body. It is important to note that the chemical
energy that you get from food is not lost or used up when you do those
activities. It is simply changed into another form of energy. The cells in
your body break down the chemical bonds in the food and release the
energy from those bonds. You then use this energy to keep your body
organs working, move your muscles, ride your bike, or toss a ball. You
might have observed that you feel hot and start sweating after running,
biking, or playing. This is because some of the energy is transformed into
heat.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed. It may be transformed from one form into another, but the total
amount of energy never changes. Energy can be changed from one form to
another such as chemical energy into mechanical energy, heat energy, and
many more.
Energy transformation occurs everywhere always. It can be observed at
sunrise. As the light of the sun reaches the Earth, plants absorb it to make
their own food. Light energy from the sun is transformed into chemical
energy stored in plants. In cooking, the chemical energy of the Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG) is transformed into light and heat to cook food.
Other examples where energy conversion takes place are in a battery-
operated car, waterfalls, roller coaster, cleaning the house, walking,
running, watching television, eating or chewing food, calling through
cellular phones, driving a car, and many more.
Transformation of energy may also be observed by simply doing
household chores. When hammering the nail, mechanical energy is
turned into sound energy and heat energy as you continue hitting the
nail. When ironing clothes, the electrical energy from the source or
outlet is transformed into heat that makes the iron hot. In a boiling
water, the chemical energy from the LPG tank is transformed into
light energy and heat that makes the water boil. At home, we use
different appliances like TV, electric fan, air condition, refrigerator,
electric lamp, etc. All these devices transform one energy to another
form and release heat to the surroundings. The end product of energy
transformations is heat wasted. Heat is collected in the surroundings
and results in the warming of the environment.

REMEMBER:
Transparent materials allow light to pass through them thus
you can clearly see through that object.
Translucent materials will allow only some of the light to pass
through while the remaining light will scatter. This materials are
usually cloudy and unclear

Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them. As


they blocked any light from passing through them, you cannot
see on the other side of the material.
Tell if the following materials are opaque, translucent and transparent.
Check the proper column.

❖ Ang sobrang caffeine sa isang araw ay maaaring magdulot ng ilang
epekto sa katawan partikular sa nervous system at mga kalamnan. Mga
epekto nito ay tulad ng insomnia o hirap sa pagtulog, pagiging nerbyoso at
hindi mapakali.
❖ Ang paninigarilyo ay isang masamang bisyo. Ito ay masama para sa
ating kalusugan. Bukod sa magastos ang paninigarilyo, ay nakapagdudulot
pa ito ng maraming uri ng sakit tulad ng sakit sa puso, bronchitis at kanser.
Nakakapagpahina din ito ng resistensya ng ating katawan. Ito rin ay
nakamamatay.
❖ Ang alak ay isang uri ng inumin na may halong katas ng ubas at espiritu
ng alkohol. Tulad ng paninigarilyo, ang pag-inom ng alak ay nagdudulot
ng masamang epekto sa kalusugan ng tao.
Mga Karamdamang Epekto o Sanhi Ng Paggamit Ng Caffeine,
Tabako at Alkohol:
➢ Anemya - Pagbaba ng lebel ng oxygen sa dugo dahil sa madalas na pag
iinom ng alak.
➢ Kanser - Sakit na nakukuha sa kemikal na acetaldehyde na isang
carcinogen na nakukuha kapag umiinom ng alak.
➢ Altapresyon - Kondisyon ng pagtaas ng presyon ng dugo dahil sa
kaiinom ng alak.
➢ Pagkalimot - Ang talas ng pag-iisip ay natural na nababawasan sa
pagtanda ng bawat tao. Ngunit sa taong madalas na umiinom ng alak,
doble o triple ang bilis ng pagkasira ng mga cells.
➢ Gout - Hindi komportableng karamdaman na nagdudulot ng matinding
pananakit sa mga kasukasuan.
