Weekly Blog 03/20 - Build the Best Electromagnet Blog Post - Weekly Blog 03/20

     To make the most powerful magnet I would use a Thick copper wire with 100 winds with a  DC current. I would use these because the battery doesn't overload and it picks up the most filings out of all of the others according to my notes. While the rest of the results are like in the middle or in the worse place.

     So here is the reason I chose the DC current . I chose the DC current because it has more power than the AC current. And the DC current has so much energy that it can overload with power then you have to reset it.

     I would use a thick wire because it carries more than the medium and thin wire. And it doesn't overload when thin can overload easily. While medium can't carry as much as thick.

     The reason why I chose copper because copper works the best out of all the others. While aluminum is in the middle. And string which has no power can't pick up a single one even if you put it on the highest winds and on thick.

     Why I need 100 winds for this to work. This requires 100 winds because 26, 50, 76 winds can't carry as much as 100 winds. And plus it has more energy the more winds there are.
