Best way to route electromagnetic force.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the most effective method to route electromagnetic force, particularly in the context of creating an electromagnet. Participants suggest wrapping conductive wire around a metal core as a traditional approach, while also considering the use of reed switches for their compactness and reliability. There is some confusion regarding the specifics of the inquiry, particularly about the purpose and application of the electromagnetic setup. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding the components involved in electromagnet design. The best approach may depend on the specific requirements of the project.

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.

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
