.1. Overview of the Machine
The machine described is an electromagnetic device used for experiments involving magnetic fields and armature windings. It consists primarily of two key parts:
Field Magnet: Provides the magnetic field.
Armature: The rotating part where electromotive force (EMF) is induced.
2. Field Magnet Construction
Material: The field magnet is made from wrought iron, a material chosen for its good magnetic properties and ability to be shaped.
Shape: It consists of a ring with 384 pole projections. These projections are small extensions or teeth around the ring that help concentrate and direct the magnetic flux.
Why 384 poles?
Having many pole projections increases the number of magnetic poles, which can improve the uniformity of the magnetic field and the resolution of the machine’s output (e.g., smoother voltage or current output).
3. Armature Construction
Core: The armature is a steel disc. Steel is used for its mechanical strength and magnetic properties.
Rim: Attached to the steel disc is a thin rim of wrought iron, carefully welded to ensure good mechanical and magnetic continuity.
This rim serves as the core on which the winding is placed.
4. Winding the Armature
Wire: Several layers of fine, well-annealed iron wire are wound around the rim.
Annealing is a heat treatment process that softens the iron wire, improving its magnetic properties and reducing electrical resistance.
Process: After winding, the wire is passed through shellac, a natural resin used as an insulating varnish. This prevents short circuits between wire turns and layers.
Pins: The wires are wound around brass pins, which serve as supports and connection points.
Insulation: The brass pins are wrapped with silk thread to provide additional insulation and prevent damage to the wire.
5. Dimension Considerations: Wire Diameter
The diameter of the armature wire is critical. It should not exceed a certain fraction of the thickness of the pole projections.
This is because:
If the wire is too thick, local action (undesired local currents or eddy currents) will become significant.
Local action causes energy loss, heating, and reduces the efficiency of the machine.
The exact fraction is typically a small part (e.g., 1/10 or less) of the pole thickness, ensuring the wire is fine enough to minimize these effects.
6. Purpose and Functioning of the Experiment
The experiment likely aims to study the magnetic and electrical characteristics of the machine, such as:
Induced EMF in the armature due to the rotating magnetic field.
Effects of wire thickness on performance and losses.
Distribution of magnetic flux with many pole projections.
By carefully constructing the machine with these specifications, the experimenter ensures:
High precision in measurements.
Minimization of losses.
Reliable and reproducible results.

This electromagnetic experimental machine consists of two main components working together. The field magnet, shown as the outer ring, provides the magnetic field through multiple pole projections. The armature, represented by the inner rotating disc, is where electromotive force is induced. This precise construction enables detailed study of electromagnetic phenomena and accurate experimental measurements.
The field magnet is constructed from wrought iron, chosen for its excellent magnetic properties and workability. It features a ring structure with 384 pole projections around its circumference. These numerous poles concentrate the magnetic flux and create a highly uniform magnetic field. The large number of poles significantly improves the resolution and smoothness of the machine's electrical output compared to designs with fewer poles.
The armature consists of a steel disc core that provides mechanical strength and good magnetic properties. A thin rim of wrought iron is carefully welded around the steel disc to ensure both mechanical and magnetic continuity. This wrought iron rim serves as the optimal magnetic core for the wire winding process, combining the structural integrity of steel with the superior magnetic characteristics of wrought iron.
The winding process uses fine annealed iron wire, which has been heat-treated to improve its magnetic properties and reduce electrical resistance. Multiple layers of wire are carefully wound around the rim, supported by brass pins positioned around the circumference. The brass pins are wrapped with silk thread for insulation protection. Finally, the entire winding is passed through shellac, a natural resin that provides insulation between wire turns and prevents short circuits.
Wire diameter optimization is critical for machine efficiency. The wire diameter must not exceed a small fraction of the pole projection thickness, typically one-tenth or less. When wire is oversized, local action occurs through eddy currents, causing significant energy loss and heating. This reduces overall efficiency and measurement precision. By maintaining the proper wire-to-pole ratio, we minimize losses and achieve maximum experimental accuracy.
