What suitable material would you use for the core of an electromagnet?
Iron - use a bunch of iron nails, wrapped many times with insulated copper wire, if making your own electromagnet.
In an electromagnet why is it a good idea to use insulated wire?
Because bare wire would short out as the wires are touching each other.
How is a simple electromagnet created?
By passing an electric current through any conductor, a magnetic field will be created. Therefore, a simple electromagnet can be created by connecting a power source to a coil of copper wire.
What is the best metal to make an electromagnet out of?
An iron core and copper wire (that is coated with an insulator) are used all the time to make electromagnets.
How long does it take to make an artificial magnet?
An electromagnet can be created as fast as you can wrap copper wire around a nail and attach the ends to a battery.
Why is wire better than copper wire on an electromagnet?
whty is copper wire not better than wire on a electromagnet whty is copper wire not better than wire on a electromagnet whty is copper wire not better than wire on a electromagnet whty is copper wire not better than wire on a electromagnet whty is copper wire not better than wire on a electromagnet

Why must you use insulated copper wire for coil of an electromagnet?
So the wire doesn't short itself out. The electricity needs to go through all the windings individually.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
Copper wire weight?
Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
In an electromagnet why is it a good idea to use insulated wire?
Because bare wire would short out as the wires are touching each other.
What forms electromagnets?
when we take a soft iro core ad coil it with insulated copper wire. then turn on the circuit.now it will become an electromagnet. it will attract peices of iron steel nickel and cobalt this is an electromagnetic force.
How big around is copper wire mcm 750?
The diameter of an insulated 750 MCM copper wire is 1.25 inches. The insulated 750 MCM copper wiring has 61 strands and has a weight of 2.7 pounds per foot.
What forms electromagnetic forces?
when we take a soft iro core ad coil it with insulated copper wire. then turn on the circuit.now it will become an electromagnet. it will attract peices of iron steel nickel and cobalt this is an electromagnetic force.
Why does copper wire have to be insulated?
To stop the conductor from touching adjacent grounded structures.
What happens if the insulation is removed from the copper insulated magnet wire?
No it does not attract to magnets
What do you loop a wire around to make an electromagnet?
steel =========== Most often, a soft-iron core, which becomes the actual magnet when the current is flowing in the turns of wire around it. ------------------------------------ An iron core. The simplest electromagnet can be made by wrapping an iron nail (common construction nail) with a copper wire (insulated not bare copper) and attaching both ends of the wire to a battery. The more wraps and the higher the voltage the stronger the magnetic field produced. Note: an electromagnet can only be made with DC electricity, as AC electricity will constantly reverse polarity 50-60 times per second!
