1 of 9
What is an induced magnet?
An object that becomes a magnet when placed in a magnetic field
2 of 9
what is flux density?
How close the field lines are together (strength of the magnetic field)
3 of 9
Describe a solenoid
When wire is looped around in a cylindrical coil
4 of 9
Name 3 ways of increasing the magnetic field strength
Increase the current | Iron core | Increase the flux density| Coil more wires (if solenoid)
