i want to build an electromagnet which can attract small iron pieces(2-3 mm long) at a distance of 10 cm from the magnet.I am using 24 awg. magnet wire.Please help .answer these questions -
1) How long magnet wire (24 awg) do i need?
2)How much current
3) what shud be least radius of solenoid
4) can i use iron nails as soft iron core
5) How can copper loss be reduced
6) what is effective length of electromagnet
