Electromagnets
U-shape electromagnet is the most
well known and widely used electromagnet in different industries. It is used to
lift scrap metals in metal recycling facilities and it is used to lock and
unlock the magnetic door locks. The strength of a u-shape electromagnet is
mainly due to the opposite magnetic poles that are placed side by side. In this
way the objects are lifted both the north pole and the south pole of the same
magnet.
You can make an electromagnet or
you can buy an electromagnet and modify it based on your own ideas and needs. In
the core of each electromagnet is a U-shape soft iron rod. Each arm of the soft
iron rod is covered with a coil of insulated copper wire.
MiniScience supplies the following
electromagnets:
Small Electromagnet
The core of this small educational
electromagnet is a soft iron rod with a diameter of 8 millimeters and
bent to form a U shape. Think of it as a model of lifting magnet
used in industry, such as scrap metal lifter. Consists of two plastic
bobbins wound with enameled copper wire and mounted on each arm of a
soft iron U-core. Each of the bobbins is fitted with two 5/32" (4mm)
socket binding posts. |

Overall height of this electromagnet is
about 110 millimeters (more than 4 inches) excluding the hanger hook.
Operates with 3 volts up to 12 volts Direct Current electricity such as
batteries.

Large Electromagnet
Large Electromagnet, Dissectible , Deluxe. Designed to demonstrate the
basic operation of simple electromagnets. Used in teaching the
principles of electricity and electromagnets, allowing hands on activity
for students to better understand these concepts.
Comprises of two coils, U-shape iron core and an armature. On outmost
layer of the coils are several turns of plastic coated wires, indicating
the winding direction of the coil. Each of the coils has two terminals
which can be connected in series or in parallel.

When used on 4-6 volt, 1 Amps in parallel the armature can bear a load
of more than 40 N.
Overall Dimensions: 5" x 5" (12 cm x 12 cm)
Coil height: 2.5 inches (6 cm)
Includes a guide or instructions.
