Here's a fast, easy way to experience the power of electromagnetism.
This electromagnet is comprised of 2 coils, a U-type iron core and an armature. Each coil has two terminals that can be connected in parallel to a 6V battery.
When both terminals are connected, the electromagnet is capable of lifting a load of more than 40N or 8.99 lbs. Impressive.
An excellent demonstration on physics and how electrons react.
