The Iron Clad Electromagnet is made up of two parts: the core which houses the battery compartment and the electromagnet, and the yoke which is made of iron, a strong ferromagnet.
Γõ¼├Ã
The lower section of the core houses the electromagnet.Γõ¼├à When supplied with electricity, one can connect the flat bottom surface of the yoke to the flat bottom surface of the core.
Γõ¼├Ã
The iron yoke will not retain a strong magnetic field after being attached and magnetized by the connected core.Γõ¼├à The electromagnet in the core will retain some magnetic properties after being disconnected.Γõ¼├Ã
Γõ¼├Ã
Strong enough to suspend the yoke, but not support any more force or weight (the yoke weighs 0.8 lbs).Γõ¼├ÃΓõ¼├Ã
