Induced Ferromagnetism

A coil is connected to a 12 V car battery through a knife switch. A non-magnetized piece of iron is placed in the core of the coil and is shown to become magnetized as the switch is closed and the magnetic field of the coil is established.
Equipment:
- Car battery (12 V)
- Coil
- Connecting wires
- Iron rod
- Knife Switch
