Copper conducts electricity and so does other metals like silver. Now a new material is coming to play which is graphene, But I was wondering in order to generate electricity must it be in copper coils? Can it be in silver coils, graphene coils? ^.^

I am working on impedance measurements of close-wound electromagnetic coils. I am using an Agilent LCR meter to measure the impedance of these coils over a frequency range of 20Hz-2MHz. When I perform the measurements, I get impedance magnitude and phase angle in degrees. I would like to...

Please watch this video (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN-A3RryOC8) for reference. As you can see, the magnet does not slow down (at least, not appreciably) when falling through the copper coiled around a PVC pipe, and I can't figure out why.

Hey there, inspired by this exhibit in the SF exploratorium, I was discussing with my colleague what might happen if you put a thick piece of pure copper (say, a 5kg ingot) in the bore of a 3.4 T MRI machine. (What about 7T?) We have the MRI machine, all we need is a big piece of copper...
