I am looking for advice on choosing wire gauge for an electromagnet I am creating.
If I choose 32 gauge I will need 729ft of wire and it will produce 2170 loops of wire. This equates to 119ohms of resistance or 1.2 watts at 12 volts.
If I choose 30 gauge I will need 466ft of wire and it will produce 1400 loops of wire. This equates to 47ohms of resistance or 3.06 watts at 12 volts.
28 gauge follows the same patter with less loops and 8watts at 12 volts.
I really am not sure which to choose from. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.
