Magnet wire is an insulated electrical conductor, usually copper or aluminum insulated with a thin enamel coating - that when wound into a coil and energized creates a useful electrical field. 90% of all electrical energy requires modification through the use of magnet wire to be of use.

Magnet wire coils are used in electric motors, transformers, relays, solenoids, radio tuning coils, speakers, microphones, etc....
