Passing some form of electric current in a wire usually leaves it with magnet characteristics. The magnetism created is usually negligible as long as it passes only in one wire. However, if you create magnetic coils, you will able to concentrate the power and make a stronger magnet field.
Before you begin the process, you must have a core on which you will pass your wire strips. A good core to use should be a cylindrical object made from a conducting material. For instance a nail can serve as a good core. It is still possible to use non conducting substances.
The next stage is where you roll the strips of those wires on the core. You should do this in a manner that allows for some allowance of hanging wire on both of sides. It is important to note that the closer you wind the wires together, the stronger the field created will be.
Once you are done, you can then reinforce the coil with the core by the use of a tape or even glue. You can then cut off the wires in order to fee them from the spool. Ensure to maintain the six inch hanging wires since you will need the allowance when conducting.
If you have used wire that has a plastic jacket, you can strip off the coat from the hanging wires. The simplest way is by burning the wire at the ends and pulling it off before it cools. You can use a piece of cloth to pull of the jackets to make sure you do not get hurt.
The very last step in the entire process of making your magnetic coils is the introduction of the electric current. Any source of current can work just fine. For instance you can decide to use a lantern battery and attach both ends of the coil to it. If you test it, it should now be a complete magnet
