what will happen if you will see an uninsulated copper wire for making an electromagnet??
Dear student,
In order for an electromagnet to work the wire is always insulated. If they weren't insulated the number of turns would become meaningless. the copper wires one perceives to be bare are actually coated with lacquer or a similar material. Using uninsulated copper wire in the coils would resemble a single large coil because current would not flow evenly through all the copper wires. Also, without insulation the resistance to the flow of electricity would be reduced to near zero drawing too much current and perhaps blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
