My nine-year-old daughter has a science fair tomorrow.  We are doing simple
electromagnets out of nails.  We are just using one C battery with
approximately a 30-penny nail and 26 guage wire wrapped around the nail for
two layers.  When the battery is connected the nail has a good magnetic
strength in that it will pick up another nail not just paper clips.

I was thinking about showing how a current in one coil will induce a
current in another (how an electric toothbrush charges).  We rigged up
another nail the same way but with a little bulb attached.  Check my
theory, shouldn't the electromagnetic field produced by the coil and nail
with the battery induce a current in the other coil when placing the nails
adjacent and parallel?
