How can you make an electro magnet stronger in 3 different was?
1. Increase the turns of wire 2. Increase the electric current 3.Get a softer core

What shape is an electromagnets magnetic field?
It is circular

What are some examples of how an electromagnet is used?
Electric bell, Relay circuit, Circuit breaker, Maglev trains

What happens to the electromagnets magnetic field when the direction of the current is reversed?
Its poles switch place e.g if the north pole was at the top and the south pole was at the bottom then we changed the direction of current the north pole would be at the bottom and the south pole would be at the top
