SUMMARY

The discussion centers on constructing a 1 Tesla electromagnet using a 40V to 50V DC power supply. The user seeks guidance on selecting the appropriate copper wire gauge, calculating resistance, determining the optimal iron core size, and deciding the number of windings required for effective performance. The conversation highlights the challenges of achieving such a magnetic field strength in a compact design, specifically within a 40/50 cm cube.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnet design principles
  • Familiarity with copper wire specifications and resistance calculations
  • Knowledge of magnetic field strength and its relation to current and coil turns
  • Basic electrical engineering concepts related to power supply and circuit design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research wire gauge selection for electromagnets using the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard
  • Learn about calculating resistance in copper wire for specific lengths and gauges
  • Investigate the relationship between current, turns of wire, and magnetic field strength in solenoids
  • Explore materials and designs for iron cores to optimize magnetic field generation
USEFUL FOR

Electromagnet designers, electrical engineers, hobbyists interested in high-strength magnets, and anyone involved in experimental physics or engineering projects.

HI I need to make a electromagnet(solenoid) of around 1 Tesla. I have power supply of around 40V to 50V DC. I want to make a device so that I can put it in my desk. Like around 40/50 cm size cube in which two such electromagnet will fit. I don't know what sized copper wire will be better for me and what will be its resistance. What size of iron core will be better and what will be the number of winding. If you need more information I will be happy to let you know. Thank you

This is a 1 tesla magnet (or at least, something that uses a magnetic field that powerful)

Why in the world do you think you need a 1 tesla magnet?

Good choice of words. That table in the front of the picture is the part that you lie on to be inserted into the rest of it for imaging.
If you can figure out how to do that on 40 volts, you will be a multibillionaire within hours.

Thread 'Colors in a plasma globe'

I have a common plasma globe with blue streamers and orange pads at both ends. The orange light is emitted by neon and the blue light is presumably emitted by argon and xenon. Why are the streamers blue while the pads at both ends are orange? A plasma globe's electric field is strong near the central electrode, decreasing with distance, so I would not expect the orange color at both ends.
