Calculator Battery - Flaxative - 2009-06-01
I recently removed the battery from a broken calculator. I am pretty sure the battery still has a charge, although I'm not absolutely sure. My point is that I am trying to use the electricity to create an electromagnet (don't ask why) and my current tools are:
Battery
Paper Clip
Eraser
Nickel
Wire
How can I at least get a spark or a current?

[color="#cc8899"]Step 1 - Get scissors
Step 2 - Find socket
Step 3 - Insert
Step 4 - ???
Step 5 - Profit[/COLOR]

Attach battery to scissors?

...That would short-ciruit the batttery. The battery already has a charge.

Sorry, I dunno much for wiring and whatnot (although I did manage to get a little red light bulb to turn on by touching a wire to part of an attached circuit once though
)

Aren't you supposed to connect the wire to each end of the battery and coil it around the thing you want to magnetize?
I wouldn't really know.

1. Undo the paper clip for it to be a somewhat straight line.
2. Put each ends of the paper clip to the battery.
3. Find some tape.
4. Tape the ends of the paper clip to the battery.
5. You got a closed circuit and electrons will go around in it.
6. It will create a very weak electromagnet.

Where the pineapple did you guys learn to physics?
Your wire should be coiled. Your battery is sucks. Go buy a AA from the store.

That is very offensive. The point is that I'm trying to make one using a calculator battery. If it doesn't work, oh well. But I'm actually trying.

Ryuzaki wins >_>
You asked for a current, his solution works.
On the other hand, if you want an electromagnetic field, you're out of luck. Period. Unless you can trade your paperclip for some copper wire or something...

she stated that it would be a very weak electromagnetic field, which is true. Assumely weaker than earth's electromagneti field?

That's a good question actually o.O It would depend on how much juice the battery had left.

Well, I could probably get some wire, but at that point I might as well use a AA.
