Copper is a metal, and is an excellent conductor of electricity. That's why it would be chosen for use in an electromagnetic generator.

What three things are needed to make an electromagnetic?
Iron, copper wire and dry cell batteries
How is the movement of electricity through air different from its movement through copper wire?
The Air is many molecules scattered all around and copper wire is molecules in a line and very condensed where air is not. Therefore copper wire is a better conducter
How does a wind turbine generator work?
The main shaft which is spun by the turbines rotates magnets inside of a coil of copper wire. This makes electricity.
Is silver wire a better conductor?
The best conductor of electricity is copper wire. Silver is a better conductor than copper, look up basic data. But silver is not practicable for widespread use, copper is nearly as good and more practicable for engineering use as well as cost.
Will a copper or steel wire of the same length and thickness allow more current to pass through?
Copper is the better conductor. The only materials that are better conductors than copper are either very expensive (such as gold and silver), or superconductors that only work at cryogenic (supercold) temperatures.
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
How many gauge is required of copper wire in multiple generator science project?
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
Is stranded copper wire a better conductor than solid copper wire?
no
Could you make an ion generator with copper wire and aluminum foil?
Because there is no source of electromagnetic energy in those two substances and the substances are not reactive with themselves or each other, there is no way to build any kind of generator. However, with copper wire and a magnet, you could build a small electric generator by wrapping the copper wire into an oblong solenoid and placing the magnet at a fixed position nearby, then rotating the copper wire on its axis in the presence of the magnet. This will generate a current in the copper wire. In order to generate actual ions of any sort, that will depend on the type, charge, and concentration of ions desired. Because ions are generally not stable in uncontrolled environments, it is unlikely that any kind of ion could be generated in quantities much greater than the autoionization of water produces.
Which is a better conductor of heat air or a copper wire?
A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.
How can you build an Electric generator?
You need copper wire to pass through a magnetic field
What field coils of DC generator usually made of?
Usually enamelled copper wire.
What three things are needed to make an electromagnetic?
Iron, copper wire and dry cell batteries
How do you convert truck suspension coil energy to electricity?
Brand new hydraulic shocks that run an electric generator. The shock action pumps the motor impeller and makes electricity. Bose just came out with electromagnetic suspension. For a truck you might get some excess energy output with magnetic/electromagnetic suspension with coils picking up the moving magnetic flux from the suspension cylinders and making power. Magnetic field moving past a wire is how a generator works. Put magnets on the moving rods and wrap it with coils of solid copper wire. A linear generator.
What Type Of Copper Wire Conducts Electricity Best?
The more pure the better. Pure copper.
Why must you use an insulated copper wire for the coils of an electromagnetic?
So the wire doesn't short itself out. The electricity needs to go through all the windings individually.
What houses magnets and coil and copper wire?
An electric motor. In a motor the coil spins within the magenetic field producing mechanical energy. In a generator the magnet spins within a coil to produce electricity. in either case the magnets can be either solid fixed magents or electromagnetic coils.
