Hi
a question :>
I have a solenoid and it has a certain range to it, i.e. the magnetic field does not go on fro ever for practical purposes.
I can adjust the design to gain more range, I can wind more turns on the armature but this won't extend the range if the core material saturates out. I can up the voltage and hence the current, but this creates more heat that I have to dissipate, and I want to power from a battery at the end of the day. So I am trying to get the longest range I can from 10 to 14 volts.
Does anyone have an answer on which parameter to try moving first assuming the range I have is not good enough.
regards
Les C
