Copper Wire Around A Nail at Charlie Skirving blog

Copper Wire Around A Nail. (if your nail fits inside the straw from the last experiment, you can use that solenoid instead of rewrapping the wire.) When creating a simple electromagnet, all you need is a nail and some copper wire, and a battery. I did this using non. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. In this experiment, we will create an electromagnet by wrapping a copper wire around a metal piece such as an iron nail. Electrons behave like little magnets and when they flow through a wire, they create a magnetic field, which turns the nail into a magnet that can pick up paper clips and staples!. Expose about an inch of copper wire from either end of the wire, and wrap the middle portion of the wire tightly about the nail. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow. Tightly wrap the wire around the nail to make a solenoid with a ferromagnetic core. If you have enough wire, wrap more than one layer. More wraps of wire will give you a stronger magnet. Attach each exposed end of the copper wire to opposite battery terminals to complete the electromagnet. If you get some copper wire and coil it up, and connect its ends to a small battery, you can make a weak electromagnet!
