Best way to route electromagnetic force.

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the optimal methods for routing electromagnetic force, particularly in the context of electromagnets. Participants explore various approaches, including the use of wire wrapped around a metal core and the potential advantages of electric reed switches.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that wrapping wire around a metal core is a common method for routing electromagnetic force.
  • Another participant proposes that using electric reed switches could be more space-efficient and reliable, allowing for multiple switches to be added.
  • Several participants express confusion regarding the initial question, seeking clarification on the specific application or context of the inquiry.
  • There is a reiteration of the components involved in creating an electromagnet, including magnet dipoles, conductive wire, and a metal core.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as there is confusion about the original question and varying interpretations of the best method for routing electromagnetic force.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the application and context of the electromagnetic routing are unclear, leading to repeated requests for clarification.

i was just wondering ,what is the 'best' way to route electromagnetic force? some wire wrapped round the core? or an electric reed switch or something else, the electricity generated lights a bulb.

it seems to me that a reed switch takes up less space and many of them can be added aso its more reliable to using one.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. What exactly are you trying to do? Core of what?

a metal core

when you make an electro magnet you have mag,et diapoles, conductive wire and a metal core and you wind the wire roundnthe core.
