Re: Short Copper Turn

204.183.80.149

You can certainly use some bare wire, but the problem is when you connect the end you have all that wire lenght - with its extra resistance - reducing the effectiveness. That is why the copper strip is usually used, as its resistance is very low.

You can still use the wire, but in that case I would also solder few pieces across the new wire stack, to short them more effectively (connecting all turns together).

And yes, you wind the wire parallel to the coil windings.
