How Do You Magnetize With Copper Wire?
Electromagnetism can be defined as “the relationship between electricity and magnetic force,” according to Engineering Timelines. You can make certain metals magnetic by passing an electric current through a coil that is wrapped the metal. Strip 1 inch of insulation from each end of the copper wire. Bend the wire in half and begin wrapping it at the bend around your nail. Wrap the wire neatly as many times as you can while leaving enough wire at each end so that you can easily touch the exposed ends to the terminals of your battery. Touch each end of your wire to a different terminal on your battery at the same time. This creates a circuit. Hold your nail close to different kinds of screws and bolts. Some of them will be attracted to the magnet and some will not.
