Yes, a wooden core would not affect the magnetic properties of an electromagnet since wood is not a magnetic material. For maximum magnetic strength, it is recommended to use magnetic materials such as iron or steel as the core of an electromagnet.
The transformer core is ferromagnetic in order to focus and concentrate the magnetic fields generated in the windings. This improves coupling and increases inductance.
Yes, you can make an electromagnet by wrapping a coil of wire around a wooden core. The core material doesn't affect the magnetism, but it should be non-magnetic to avoid interference. Applying a current to the coil creates a magnetic field, making it function as an electromagnet.
A coil of wire or a coil in the shape of a cylinder is a typical shape for an electromagnet. The strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased significantly if the coil is wrapped around an iron core. This does not happen with nonmagnetic materials such as wood or aluminum or rubber. The enhancement of the electromagnet is caused by the magnetic properties of iron. The atoms of iron have magnetic properties as a consequence of thier electronic structure. (The cause of magnetism at the atomic level is a complex issue if described in detail and that complexity is beyond this explanation.) In a simplified picture one can say that at the atomic level the iron atoms act like little magnets. The magnetic characteristics of iron are such that an external magnetic field causes the rearrangement of the electronic structure of the iron at the atomic level and that creates a magnetization in the iron. That magnetizations has its own magnetic field just like a normal permanent magnet. The field created by the magnetization of the material adds to the external field and one gets a stronger magnetic field in and around the iron core.
Electromagnets consist of wire coiled around a core. The core can be anything from air to a nail or even a pencil. Since electrons flow freely through a conductive core (like a nail), an electromagnet made with a metal core will have a larger magnetic field (and thus be stronger) than an electromagnet with a wooden core. The strength of an electromagnet is related to the number of times the wire is coiled around the core and the distance the wire covers across the core. The more coils wrapped closer together, the stronger an electromagnet will be. The amount of voltage running through the wire also plays a role in an electromagnet's strength. More voltage means more electrons moving through the wire and thus a stronger magnet.
No, wood is not magnetic, so a wooden desk itself would not attract magnets. However, if there are metal components (like screws or brackets) attached to the wooden desk, those parts may be magnetic.

The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.
Yes, the core in an electromagnet needs to be made of a magnetic material to enhance the magnetic field strength. When an electric current flows through the coil wrapped around the core, it induces a magnetic field in the core, which in turn creates a stronger overall magnetic field around the electromagnet.
Iron and steel can be magnetic; wood cannot.
The earth's outer core produces the magnetic field.
An electromagnet typically has a magnetic core, such as iron, and is energized by running an electric current through a coil wrapped around the core. When the current flows, it generates a magnetic field around the core, giving the electromagnet its magnetic properties.
