The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the name given to the arrangement described: a coil of insulated copper wire wrapped around an iron piece and connected to an electric cell. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - We have a coil of insulated copper wire. The insulation is important as it prevents short circuits. - The coil is wrapped around an iron piece, which is a ferromagnetic material. 2. **Connection to Electric Cell**: - The coil is connected to an electric cell, which provides the electric current needed for the operation of the arrangement. 3. **Current Flow**: - When the electric cell is connected, and the circuit is closed (if there is a switch involved), electric current flows through the copper wire. 4. **Magnetic Effect**: - As the current flows through the coil, it generates a magnetic field around the wire. Since the wire is wrapped around an iron piece, this magnetic field magnetizes the iron. 5. **Naming the Arrangement**: - The arrangement of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, which behaves like a magnet when electric current passes through it, is known as an **electromagnet**. ### Final Answer: The name given to the arrangement is **electromagnet**. ---
