I've taken a few physics classes that covered such topics.
Just today I was winding some copper wire into a coil and then winding another wire into coils around every couple of loops of the original wire.
I don't know enough physics to predict what kind of magnet field running a current through the two coils would produce.
Probably create a black hole or something /s.
Seriously though, are there tools to stimulate magnetic induction fields in coils of wire?
- aliqot 4y agoThat copper coil should do it on its own in some capacity. Drop a magnet or something through the coil. It should slow down passing through. Lenz's Law.

Be warned that the learning curve tends to be steep if you don't have the background down. It's far simpler in most cases to approximate your circuits and say "Good enough" unless you're venturing into pretty wild territory (antennas and high frequency), so most of the offerings tend to be either academic, military, or high end commercially focused.
