Pengkajian Pembentukan Magnet Sementara Melalui Eksperimen Sederhana

Abstract

This study aims to examine the process of forming a temporary magnet through a simple experiment conducted independently. A temporary magnet is a type of magnet that exhibits magnetic properties only under certain conditions, such as when an electric current is applied. The experiment was carried out by wrapping copper wire around an iron nail and connecting it to a battery as the power source. Observations showed that the nail, which initially had no magnetic properties, transformed into a temporary magnet once electric current flowed through it. The experiment also demonstrated that the strength of the magnet was influenced by the number of wire turns and the duration of the current flow. The greater the treatment applied, the stronger the magnetic pull toward small metal objects. This research illustrates that the principles of electromagnetism can be understood and demonstrated through simple methods without the need for complex laboratory equipment. These findings are expected to serve as a practical and accessible foundation for physics learning.
