What Is Magnetic Wire and How Is It Used in Building an Electromagnetic Motor?

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic wire, often referred to as magnet wire, is a type of insulated copper wire used in electromagnetic applications, including building motors. The designation "No. 20 to No. 24 magnet wire" indicates a range of wire gauges, with specific sizes being suitable for different projects. These wires are typically available at local hardware stores or specialized electrical supply shops. For constructing an electromagnetic motor, understanding the wire gauge is crucial for ensuring proper current flow and efficiency. Seeking additional design suggestions and resources online can further aid in the successful completion of the project.

Hello, this is my first post.
Anywho, my problem is is that I have to make a simple electromagnetic motor for my grade 11 physics class. My teacher didnt tell us what to do per-say, but we learned about it, and are on our own to put all of our information together, and build it. So, I found the general idea of what I want to do.

(I am allowed to search the internet for basic designs)

My concern right now is what exactly is magnetic wire? I don't understand what "No. 20 to No. 24 magnet wire" means. Is that like, the numbers in between them are usuable? Or is that a specific wire? Are they accessable at the local hardware store? If you guys have any better suggestions for my motor, please post. Thanks.

Please move this, I realize i posted it in the wrong spot. Sorry! My first post!
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
