The wire in a electromagnet is the conductive property transferring power. The thicker the wire the more power transferred to the electromagnet for a exponential amount of power.

When you make a homemade electromagnet with wire and a nail and a battery does stripping the wire that is coiled around the nail make the electromagnet stronger?

No, this will stop the magnet from functioning and is the same as using a short thick wire instead of a long coiled wire.

Can you make an electromagnet with aluminum wire?

No. You should use a wire with the best electric conductivity (copper or silver) and wrap it around a (soft) iron core. The wire creates the magnetic field, the iron core concentrates it and turns into a magnet when a voltage is applied to the wire. Iron has rather poor conductivity and malleability so is not suited as the coil of an electromagnet.


How can you make your spherometer more sensitive?

By using an electromagnet with a variable resister to finely-balance your spherometer's intrinsic, counter-clockwise torque--assuming that you are in the northern hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, then you'll simply need to reverse the polarity of your electromagnet.

What is the purpose of the soft iron core used in making electromagnet?

The purpose is to enhance the magnetic field - to make it stronger - compared to just using air.

How does an electromagnet make the sounds you hear in headphones?

It needs more than an electromagnet. You have an electromagnet with an iron diaphragm in the magnetic field. When the audio current from the amp flows in the electromagnet, the diaphragm moves at the same frequency, making the sound that you hear.


How do you make an electromagnet field stronger?

You could either put a bar of iron in the center of the electromagnet, increase the voltage that you put in, or make more loops of wire.
