  • Hi! Do you think it's possible to experience the same effect by using a battery? For a home-made safe experiment... Thanks.

  • @anywhere88 sure try using very light wires and a strong magnet or electromagnet

  • Nice voice you have there!

  • Hey great vid just wanted to ask u wether using amps would be more effective than using voltes

  • @IAbominator voltage is a different thing than amperage. the magnetic force occurs because of the amperage, which is the flow of electric charge per second. voltage is a potential difference between two points. amperage carries the power. voltage wouldnt help you that much.

  • @mdr6379: The magnet has been sitting around here (the Physics Dept. of St. Lawrence University) for several decades. My colleagues call it the "magnetron magnet", so it may have originally been used in microwave work, but I'm guessing we got it from an electronics surplus store. I've looked on ebay, but haven't seen any similar ones. FWIW, the maximum field is about 1 kilogauss or 0.1 Tesla.

  • Where did you get the magnet?

  • would the material in which the conducting wire is made of, have any effect on the level of influence that the magnetic field would have on the wire? how? also if the wire is kept in place within the magnetic field, would the lorenz force affect the amount of charges that would go through the wire? like a resistor? i really need the answers cuz im doing some project on it PLZ

  • @Channypogosticks I hope it isn't too late for your project, but the force is made by the electric field AROUND the wire. I think that field only depends on the current you're sending through it (that does depends on the material of course...) I also don't think there's going to be a resistor-effect in the wire, because the field around the wire is depending of the current through it, but the current isn't depending on the field around it. I think.

  • Why shouldn't we do this at home? I have to make something like you did for my integrated test. I don't think that it is dangerous to make this, if you know something about electromagnets and so on.

  • @evamber01 Because 25 Amps will kill your ass.

  • Hi, I liked what you did there and this was similar to what I should have done as a project in my 12th grade. Can I have your email address? I had tried doing the same with a horse shoe magnet and mercury.
