first, you have to have a ferromagnetic core, like an iron bolt.

then, you wind a magnetic wire around it. the thicker the winding, the stronger the magnet.

the tips of the wire should be protruding so you can connect it to a source. skin the tips of the wire, too.

connect the wire to a dc source and you got an electromagnet.

What is the source of electromagnet?

An electromagnet is a type of magnet whose magnetic properties stem from electricity. The earth has a lot of electromagnet waves running through it's surface, which come from the polarization of the planet. A more simple electromagnet can be made by wrapping wire around a metal object and connecting the wire to a battery (just be careful).

How is a simple electromagnet created?

A simple electromagnet is created by wrapping a wire around a core material, such as iron, in the shape of a coil. When an electric current flows through the wire, a magnetic field is generated around the coil, turning it into an electromagnet.

Does making the core of an electromagnet larger make it weaker?

No, the electromagnet is not made weaker by making the core larger. It can be made weaker by decreasing its current and/or turns of coil.


I have made a simple ir circuit that switches an LED on and off How can you replace the LED in the circuit with a homemade electromagnet so it can pick things up when triggered?

To create an electromagnet, you need to find a nail or similar long piece of ferrous metal. Then, take a wire and tightly wrap a wire around it as many times as you can in continuous coils. All you have to do once you have made the electromagnet is connect the two ends of the wire into your previously created circuit.


Is a toothpick a part of an electromagnet?

No, a toothpick is not a part of an electromagnet. An electromagnet is typically made up of a coil of wire wrapped around a core material such as iron, while a toothpick is simply a small stick made of wood or plastic.
