later. 4. Position one end of the copper wire under the rubber band at the positive (+) end or or place blu tack on top of the wire to hold it in position. 5. Position the other end of the copper wire under the rubber band at the negative (-) e battery or place the blu tack on top of the wire to hold it in position. 6. Hold the positive (+) end of the battery (up position) and the negative (-) end of the (down position) between your thumb and pointer finger to hold the wires in place. 7. Hold the coiled nail with your other hand and try to pick up the paper clips. What happens? 1. If you disconnect one end of the wire from the battery what happens?

Disconnect the battery at both ends when you have finished allowing it to cool.

Try not to leave your battery connected for long periods as it will drain all the energy from it and the compon very hot and may burn you.

This electric current creates a magnetic field that magnetizes the nail. When the current flows through the w produces a magnetic field. Notes:
