Electromagnets Part 2 Yr8

Magnets have a north and south pole, with opposite poles attracting and like poles repelling. The magnetic field gets weaker further from the magnet. Electromagnets are coils of wire that become magnetized when electric current flows through them, allowing them to be turned on and off. They are used in devices like electric bells, speakers, and circuit breakers. Circuit breakers use electromagnets to break the electric circuit if too much current flows, protecting homes.
