Does a magnetic field impressed over copper wire follow down the wire, after the above electromagnet, and pass through a spark gap, and then continue onward? Or is the field supposed to be initiated on the wire after exiting the spark gap in series? Does a spark gap lose central magnetism attempting to pass through? I also assume a steel wire would hold and flow better the magnetism down the line.

 

Does not matter what is type of conductor (metal, liquid, gas, vacuum),
magnetic field depends only on current value, which pass through conductor.

 

The wire doesn't "carry" the magnetic field, it's the current that generates the field around its flow.
It makes no difference what is carrying the current.

 

Also, if there is no current through the gap, the magnetic field also disappears.

Thanks. - Your' the only one that understood my question, and actually answered it. ( field to begin with , and not after other side of spark gap, when spark off. Field continuous onward with continuous spark. Therefore, my circuit requires constant magnetic field, so as the electromagnet has to be constant on, and AFTER the intermittent spark gap.

That makes no sense.
If the spark is off then there is no current and no magnetic field anywhere in the circuit.
During the spark there is a field on both sides of the spark gap as well as across the spark gap.

What does a spark gap have to do with your electromagnet?

My circuit requires an intermittent spark gap and constant magnetic field . Placement of parts therefore is critical. Also polarity N + S of coils matter, direction the way wound, direction way facing each other end to end, along with input and output wires selection. Exact placement of high volts wire point determines amount of efficiency increase, as added to circuit. I had hand duplicated replacement sealed chamber from 2005, in vacuum containing components in certain arrangement . The previous 60 cycles Bakelite units were obsolete and not available for purchase.
There are also 2 types of polarity diodes as standard low frequency or fast recovery high speed, and both types available as low or very high volts rating. The Metal case stud diodes can be used as somewhat low 'over voltage" than the rating, and passes very low electrons flow through in opposite direction, somewhat like a Zener, without damage such as over current heating, or excessive over voltage.

A magnetic field is produced either by a permanent magnet, OR by a current flowing in a conductor. An intermittent current will cause an intermittent magnetic field. An electrical spark has a magnetic field because of the current flow, and thus an electric arc is very much affected by a magnetic field. THAT is why some switching devices include a feature called a "Magnetic Blow-out." I am not familiar with just how theywork, but I have seen the term used in descriptions many times.
