Magnetism: Electromagnets Explained:When Electricity Becomes a Magnet
from GCSE Science Simplified (All GCSE Science in one place) · host Thom Izod
How can a wire become a magnet? In this episode of GCSE Science Simplified, we explore electromagnets and the link between electricity and magnetism. Learn how an electric current creates a magnetic field around a wire, why the field forms circles, what affects its strength, and how coiling a wire into a solenoid creates a powerful, controllable electromagnet. With real-life examples like scrapyard cranes and electric motors, this episode helps GCSE students understand electromagnetism with confidence.
