The magnet is 4 x 4" (length and diameter). The magnet's vertical motion mostly remains inside the solenoid, although it very frequently reaches the edges of either end of the solenoid. I suppose building it so that it completely leaves the solenoid would produce a greater change in magnetic...
Thanks for all the responses! Just to give you a little background on what it is I'm trying to accomplish, I'll expand a bit.
The copper wire I described in my scenario is actually a solenoid of about 500 turns, 1 ft in length, and about 5 inches in diameter. Yes, I know it changes things a...
Greetings,
I have a problem that's been bugging me for a few days now. I've asked electrical engineers, students and graduates, and I can't seem to find a clear-cut answer to these questions.
THE SCENARIO
One piece of copper wire has one end connceted to a terminal from a multimeter...
