How Do You Make A Magnet With A Dry Cell Battery?
The process of making a magnet is fairly straightforward. The science behind it is the confusing part. Creating a magnet at home involves running an electrical current through a wire. Whenever a current runs through a circuit, it creates an electrical charge. To get this electrical charge at home, a power source, such as a battery, is needed. The most common type of battery is the dry cell battery, which has a metal electrode or graphite rod submerged in a moist electrolyte paste. Dry cell batteries include most household batteries, such as AA, AAA, 9-volts and C-cells. Lithium ion batteries, which are found in watches and cellphones, are other common forms of dry cell batteries. By hooking one of these batteries to a configuration of wires, you can make a magnet. Wrap magnet wire around an iron bar. To start, leave 6 inches of wire hanging off of the end of the bar, and continually wind wire around the iron. Wind it tightly and in the same direction. If you want a stronger magnet, fin
