What We Learned
√ Magnetism is all around us √ Magnets have poles that attract or repel other magnets √ Coils of wire connected to a power source are
electromagnets √ Coils can pull and push metal rods to make solenoids √ Electromagnets and magnets set in a circle become a
motor √ Multimeters are used to measure things electrical
