A solenoid. An electromagnet is wire wrapped around a core of iron (usually). The wrapped wire itself is called the solenoid.
electromagnet
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.
Coils of wire
Coils of wire wrapped around a ferromagnetic core make up a motor's armature. It carries an electrical current and rotates within a magnetic field.
Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.
Well, it CAN be wrapped either way, but because standard screws tighten when turned clockwise:if the wire is wrapped around the screw clockwise tightening the screw will pull the wire tighter around the screwif the wire is wrapped around the screw counterclockwise tightening the screw will push the wire away from the screw making it loose and maybe even popping the wire out from under the screwSo, if you want the wire to stay secure on the screw only wrap it clockwise!
