Electromagnetism

Electricity could create magnetism, this is called electromagnetism. Electromagnets can be created by wrapping a wire around an iron nail and connecting it to a battery. If you do decide to do this you might want to wear gloves because the battery could get very hot. Electromagnets function stick to metal just like normal magnets. You could also change how strong an electro magnet attracts by using more voltage.  You could also do the opposite and generate electricity through magnets, this is called electromagnetic induction.  Electro magnets are very useful in our daily lives. Electromagnets are used in a lot of electrical devices. Electric motors and generators both use electromagnets to do convert energy. Another example is a school bell. When electricity goes to the school bell the thing that hits the bell is attracted by an electromagnet to hit the bell.
