I was wondering if Magnet Wire was necessary to pick up electromagnetic fields? I created a 20 gauge copper wire air inductor - or which I thought. I connected a 10K ohm before the air coiled inductor then a 330 ohm resistor to lit a led. The led lights dimly but when I move it closer to say a fridge magnet it doesn't brighten or dimmer more.
Would I have to use a Magnet Wire for this experiment or could it be a copper wire? The inductor has 9 turns in it but not really tightly spaced. What I want to do is detect the lowest amount of emf possible.
Thanks for the assistance!
