Iron-Clad Electromagnet
Model Number: MTME-22
The Iron-Clad Electromagnet is a compact and powerful apparatus designed to demonstrate the fundamental concept of electromagnets and electromagnetic attraction. Micro Technologies supplies the unit as a compact assembly capable of lifting approximately 4.0 kg using one D-cell battery under suitable operating conditions. The apparatus is supplied without the battery and includes an instruction manual, making it a convenient solution for practical investigations of electromagnetic force and lifting action.
Product Specification
The Iron-Clad Electromagnet is a compact electromagnetic apparatus developed for demonstrating the strong magnetic attraction that can be produced when electric current flows through a coil surrounding a magnetic core.
Its iron-clad construction provides an effective magnetic circuit designed to concentrate the magnetic field and produce a strong attractive force at the working surface. Despite its compact dimensions, the apparatus can demonstrate significant lifting capability.
Micro Technologies supplies the electromagnet with a stated lifting capability of approximately 4.0 kg when operated using one D-cell battery under appropriate test conditions. This makes the unit particularly useful for demonstrating the relationship between electrical energy and magnetic force.
When the battery is connected, current flows through the internal winding and generates a magnetic field. The iron magnetic structure becomes magnetized, allowing the electromagnet to attract a compatible ferromagnetic object or armature.
The apparatus provides a practical demonstration of one of the major advantages of electromagnets: magnetic action can be controlled electrically. When the electrical circuit is energized, magnetic attraction is produced; when the circuit is disconnected, the intended electromagnetic force substantially reduces.
Its compact form also allows investigations involving magnetic lifting force, electromagnetic attraction, electrical excitation, magnetic circuits, and practical electromagnet applications.
The supplied arrangement includes the electromagnet apparatus and an instruction manual. The required D-cell battery is not included, allowing a suitable battery to be selected separately.
With its compact construction and high lifting capability relative to its size, the Iron-Clad Electromagnet provides an effective apparatus for repeated demonstrations of electromagnetic force.

FAQs
What is an Iron-Clad Electromagnet used for?
It is used to demonstrate electromagnetic attraction, magnetic lifting force, and the production of magnetism using electric current.
What is the lifting capacity of the electromagnet?
The apparatus is specified to lift approximately 4.0 kg under suitable operating conditions.
What type of battery does it use?
The electromagnet is designed for operation using one D-cell battery.
Is the D-cell battery included?
No. The battery is not included with the standard apparatus.
Is an instruction manual supplied?
Yes. An instruction manual is included.
How does the Iron-Clad Electromagnet operate?
Current from the battery passes through the internal coil and produces a magnetic field. The iron magnetic structure concentrates the field and generates an attractive force at the working surface.
Why is the apparatus iron-clad?
The iron magnetic structure helps provide an effective magnetic path and concentrates magnetic flux, contributing to the strong attractive force of the electromagnet.
Can it demonstrate electromagnetic lifting?
Yes. Demonstrating lifting force is one of the primary applications of the apparatus.
Does the electromagnet remain active when the battery is disconnected?
Its primary magnetic action depends on electrical excitation. Once the supply is disconnected, the electromagnetic force substantially reduces, although some residual magnetism may remain.
Can the apparatus demonstrate the difference between permanent and electromagnets?
Yes. It can help demonstrate the controllable nature of an electromagnet because its main magnetic effect depends on the electrical supply.
Is the apparatus reusable?
Yes. It is designed for repeated demonstrations when operated correctly and within the recommended conditions.
Can Iron-Clad Electromagnets be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply Iron-Clad Electromagnets in bulk for laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional procurement.
