Design Multi Field Electromagnet Based on Copper Plate with Single Electric Current

Abstract

Abstract The magnetic fields produced by an electromagnet depends on the amount of current and voltage. A single current source can produce multi-field magnetic fields, the position of the solenoid connected to the electric current source, where there are multi connectors that can be switched based on the composition of the helical coil and from the data obtained that this can proved. This research was carried out in a helical and design of copper plates forming solenoid windings, each part of the partition plate numbered 10, 15, 20, and 30 connected to electric currents of 1.5, 3, and 4.5 Ampere and the switch functioned to flow electric current to the partition based on the number of electromagnet plates. The experimental results obtained that the number of plates can produce multi magnetic field with a single current source with a range 0 to 8 mT which is measured using Gaussmeter. The benefits of this research will have impact on physical and engineering research related to the use of electromagnets that are portable and concise but with a single electric current source with multi magnetic fields, besides the next research has the potential to be developed in order to produce high magnetic fields.
