Easy Steps To Follow To Create Magnetic Coils

Strings that are twisted together form magnetic coils. It's easy to make one of your own at home using supplies found at local stores. With a few simple steps to follow you can create your own field of magnets.

The core that is inside the magnet is made of anything containing iron. It would be best if the shape of it was cylinder but anything would work fine. The iron in the magnet is what will be used to amplify the magnetic field.

Electronic coils that are in turned circuits sometimes use a thing called air core. What you can do to mimic that is to wrap a thin piece of paper around the shape of your coil and make sure to not place anything in the middle of it. It should be free of materials. Using the above strategy does not apply the greatest result.

Your magnet will be really strong if you leave few spaces left between the wires. When coiling the wire it is best to use a twenty two gauge wire that has single strands. Also leave at least six inches of wire hanging from your coil. This will be needed when you want to use it later.

The next step is to secure the coil to the outside the core. This can be done using glue or tape. Then cut the wire that is left hanging from the spool. The idea is to have two wires hanging off each end. So when cutting leave another six inches available on the other side.

Stripping the wires of its coat that is to protect them is the next step. The enamel can be burned off using any match or lighter. You would need to wait for it to cool down and then rub it with some type of clean cloth.

Your magnet is all finished. Finding a power source to activate the magnet is the final step. You can use an old lantern and place the stripped ends of the wire to the battery under where the coils are. It should work. It should be able to pick up small ferromagnetic coils.

Some people like to know where the direction of electric current flows. There is a test that can be performed using your hands. Your right hand should have the coil in it and then wherever your thumb points that the flow of current. It's called the right hand rule.

Manufactures use this type of coil to create all kinds of equipment. The motors in the cars and generators use a form of the magnet. You can also find it in the hospitals inside of MRI machines. And the huge machines use it to pick up scrap iron.

As you see this utensil is used in everything that you can think of in our world today. Even in hospitals were it is needed for someone else to survive. It's not difficult to make magnetic coils on your own in your home. It's actually fairly easy if you follow the steps outlined and using the equipment that is needed. Make one with your children it can be a fun process for them.
