Insulated copper wire for electromagnet

Most people think of pen magnets, the kind you stick on the fridge when they think of magnets. The ones that make something useful to hold the pics or notes? Did you now that there are much, much stronger magnets with some pretty awesome tricks up their sleeves. This powerful set of magnets is known as electromagnets and they are a great fun to be used in some experiments and projects that you can do it at your own home or in the school. 

Now, electromagnet is working for magnetic field provides by use of electricity, just like the YUHENG's product called polyurethane cable jacket. That may sound a little complicated, so let us dissect it. A coil is a long piece of copper wire that you wind around and around in a special way. A current passing through that copper wire, results in a magnetic field around the coil. Think of all that wire wrapped around the coil, the more you have there, the stronger magnetic field is. why for creating strong electromagnets you must have good amount of copper wire.

Why Insulated Copper Wire is Key for Electromagnets

So, you might be wondering what the fuss is all about with keeping something around copper wire insulated, same with the continuously transposed conductor made by YUHENG. Insulation provides a protective cover on wires. Without this insulation, the wire would be bare to the air and a situation called a short circuit could arise. A short circuit describes that the electricity wants to go a shortcut instead of flowing through the wire coil as it should. This will cause the electromagnet to no longer function and that would be incredibly annoying. 

The wire is also kept out of harm's way by the insulation. If you were to rub up against gravel all the time, you would get scratches and cuts on your skin after a period of time. This happens to copper wire as well. Wire can be broken and it will mess up the way the magnet sticks. Which is why proper wire insulation is essential for its safety and functioning.
