OK, can't seem to find answers on Googling so will ask here.
When building an electromagnet does the way the coil is wound on the core/armature make a difference to the magnetic lifting force from the magnet? I have a drawing attached to show what I mean.
Some assumptions for all the illustrations-
1. The cores in them all are laminated and the same size.
2. The windings are all the same number of turns, same gage of wire and the same volts and amperage on each.
3. The voltage is DC.
The drawings are-
A. The coil wrapped around the center leg of core.
B. The coil split into two parts with one part wound clock-wise the other counter clock-wise.
C. The coil in two parts but wound in a single direction.
Which one would make the most magnetic force? Or doesn't it matter how its wound?
