How does the number of turns affect the strength of the electromagnet?

i think it's not on the size but rather on the voltage capacity of the battery.. usually bigger batteries have higher voltages that's why we may relate it to their size, but there are some batteries despite being small in size have higher voltages. if we are comparing two batteries of different sizes but with the same voltages, maybe the question is which one will last and would sustain your magnet longer.. but in terms of power, they are the same

∙ 11y agoNo, a higher voltage potential is what effects the strength of an electromagnet.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes. the determining factor is the total amount of current going round. So in a wire with 1 amp current, a magnet with 10 turns of this will have half the strength of 20 turns.

How much battery power would it take to power an electromagnet?
Any strength of power source can be used to make an electromagnet. A single AA battery, used well, can (at least briefly) power an electromagnet that can hold several pounds of metal in the air. An electromagnet's strength is determined by three factors: * the material in the core (air makes a weak magnet; iron a reasonably strong one) * the amount of current in the wire * the number of turns that the wire makes around the core The strength of an electromagnet is often referred to in "amp-turns": the number of turns times the amount of current it has. A simple battery approximates a voltage source: that AA battery pushes out about 1.5V of electricity. Divide that 1.5V by the resistance of the wire (longer wire higher resistance) and you get the current in the wire. At least, until your voltage source gives up and can't deliver that much current any more--then you need a new battery. :)
What makes electro magnets stronger?
You can change the strength of an electromagnet 3 ways. You can increase the amount of current (Amperes) running through your wire. You can increase the number of turns, or, if insulated, number of layers of turns on your wire coil. Last you can change the core - material, density, diameter, length.
How can you make a electromagnet lose its magnetism?
by decreasing its current,by decreasing turns of coil
How exactly does scrap heap metal work i need it for my cience homework would be grate if you could include how i can increase the strength thanks?
welll a scrap heat metal magnet works because it has an electromagnet inside it. The electromagenet has a soft iron core (so that when it can be turned on and off), a coil of wire with lots of turns (to increase the strength of the magnet), and the voltage is very high( also to increase strength.
Does voltage play a role in an electromagnet?
Voltage is the "pressure" that pushes electrons thru a circuit, higher voltage means more current, or amperes. Amperes and the number of turns of wire in the magnet control the force of the magnet
How does the number of wraps of wire affect the strength of an electromagnet?
The more turns of wire in an electromagnet the stronger the magnetic field.
What is the relationship between the stength of an electromagnet and the number of turns in the coil?
As the number of turns in the coil increases, the strength of the electromagnet increases.
Why do the number of windings around an electromagnet affect the strength of and electromagnet?
This is because an electromagnet gets its magnetic force from the electrons passing through the wire, the more coils there are the more electrons passing through so the more magnetic power. Obviously this only works to an extent since you would need more voltage and so on.
Two ways to increase the strength of an electromagnet?
-- Increase the current (amperes) flowing through the coil of wire that surrounds the electromagnet. -- Increase the number of 'turns' of wire in the coil.
How does the number of turns affect the strength?
Assuming that you're talking about coils, it is a linear relationship: doubling the turns doubles the strength.
Does the strength of an electromagnet depend on the number of volts passing through the wire or the number of coils of wire wrapped around the iron core?
The strength of an electromagnet depends on: -- The magnitude of the current through the wire. (This depends on the voltage between the ends of the wire.) -- The number of turns of wire in the coil wrapped around the iron core.
Does the number of turns in an electromagnet effect the magnets strengh?
Yes. the determining factor is the total amount of current going round. So in a wire with 1 amp current, a magnet with 10 turns of this will have half the strength of 20 turns.
Does the number of turns in the electromagnet effect its strength?
Magnetic induction B = mu * n * I Here mu is the magnetic permeability of the core material. n - the number of turns per unit length and I - the current in ampere. So as number of turns increases the magnetic effect too increases
What happens to the strength of your electromagnet if you use more turns of wire?
Answer you can increase the strength of an electromagnet by: 1) Increasing the current flow 2) Increasing the number of coils 3) Passing an 'iron core' through the coil of the electromagnet
Does the size of the core affect the strength of a electromagnet?
That's because the strenght of the electromagnet is related to the number of coils then, the more coils gets more strenght because as you add more coils to the electromagnet you have more and more magnetic field. -I hope this answer helps you if you have a question regarding any questions on any subject please fell free to ask. Thank You
What happens to the strength of electromagnet when more turns of wire were used?
it will caught just a little paper clip
