American physicist named Joseph Henry was able to make an electromagnet that could lift more than a ton. Use your imagination: what could an electromagnet of this power be used for? How could it benefit people? Going further Make a compass from a dish of water, a cork, a needle, and a permanent magnet. Use the compass to locate magnets in items around the house, such as wrist watches; electrical appliances that are turned on; and iron or steel objects like lamps, food cans, or radiators.

chain. Consider the example of “import parity pricing” in the South African steel industry. It is common for the price of locally produced steel to be set at the international price plus tariff and transportation costs. In addition, a premium for faster de- livery times for domestically sourced steel is frequently added to the price. In effect, this practice means that domestic prices reflect the cost of importing steel from abroad, not the actual costs of production in the local steel industry (Chabane et al
