Does the Magnet with a Staurated Core get stronger if we Increase Current?

Hi

I want to know If I have an Electromagnet connected to a DC Voltage with a saturated Core, Can I pick up More heavy masses If I increase Current? or because the Core is saturated no difference will be?

If I can, Then what is the difference between a Non-Saturated Core with a saturated core in this example...

ThanX in advance
Shahriar

Hi Shahriar,
I think that when a magnetic core is saturated then it won't make more magnetism if its coil is fed more current. The extra current is wasted as heat.

Thank you Audioguru. ;)

Do you know how can I determine the Saturation Current for My electromagnet with i.e. 200 turn 26 gauge wire.
I do not have exact information about my core. it is just a piece of Iron.

ThanX

By lowering the temperature of the core and coil you can get some more magnetic power.

Dear Ante
Would you mind explaining a little more....

Hi Shahriar,

I don’t know what to explain but if you keep the electromagnet cool of even better super cool then it will be more powerful.
