Electromagnetism Basics

A current flowing through a wire creates a magnetic field around it – this is an electromagnet.
The magnetic field is strongest near the wire and gets weaker further away.
If the current stops, the magnetic field disappears.
The field lines are concentric circles around the wire, closer together near the wire.

Right Hand Rule

The right hand rule gives the direction of the magnetic field: point your thumb along the current (I), and your fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field (B).
Alternatively, plotting compasses can show the field direction around a current-carrying wire.

Solenoids

A solenoid is a coil of wire that produces a magnetic field like a bar magnet.
The magnetic field is strongest inside the solenoid.
Three ways to increase the field strength: increase number of turns, increase current, add an iron core.

Soft vs Hard Magnetic Materials

A soft magnetic material (e.g., iron) is easily magnetised and demagnetised – ideal for electromagnets that switch on/off.
A hard magnetic material is difficult to magnetise and demagnetise and would retain magnetism – not suitable for a solenoid core.
