🗑
What is a permanent magnet?   Magnet where the magnetic properties are always there.  
🗑
What is an electromagnet?   A magnet produced by sending electricity through a piece of metal wrapped with coils of wire, which produces a magnetic field.  
🗑
How is an electromagnet made stronger?   By increasing the number of coils of wire used.  
🗑
Name several objects that use electromagnets.   Television, electric motors, telephones and computers.  
🗑
What did Ben Franklin discover about lightning and metal?   He discovered the lightning is a natural form of electricity and metal conducts electricity.
