Hello all,
I'm working on building a resonating electromagnet and I was curious to know what the best core material would be. I know soft iron is a good common one and I've also heard of using ferrite. A third thing I was thinking about was using a magnet as the core but I was cursious to know what that does to the coil. I've heard somewhere that if you pulse a coil wound around a magnet, the magnet does something to the frequency of the oscillations in the coil, (although I'm not sure what). Could anyone shed some light on this? Also, my first question, which is where would be a good place to get a core to wind a coil?
Thanks,
Jason O
