What if an electromagnet's core is on the outside? How would it's magnetic field look? (The wire being wrapped in coils on the inside of a tube or pipe looking metal)
It would be the coils in this caseVanadium 50 said:What generates the magnetic field? The coils or what the coils are wrapped around?
An inside out electromagnet is a type of electromagnet where the magnetic field is directed inward, towards the core of the electromagnet. In traditional electromagnets, the magnetic field is directed outward.
An inside out electromagnet works by passing an electrical current through a wire wrapped around a magnetic core. This creates a magnetic field that is directed inward, towards the core of the electromagnet.
One advantage of using an inside out electromagnet is that it can create a stronger magnetic field compared to a traditional electromagnet. This is because the magnetic field lines are concentrated towards the core, rather than being dispersed outward.
The magnetic field of an inside out electromagnet can be measured using a magnetometer, which is a device that detects and measures magnetic fields. The strength and direction of the magnetic field can also be calculated using mathematical equations.
Inside out electromagnets are used in a variety of applications, including MRI machines, particle accelerators, and magnetic levitation trains. They are also used in everyday items such as speakers, motors, and generators.
