Two wires coming together via electromagnetic attraction
(1/1)
DanD.1:
Hello, I have a very limited amount of knowledge regarding basic electromagnets. I was thinking of bringing two tips of wires together using an electromagnetic attraction between them (I attached a picture of what I am talking about). I was wondering if this is possible? I would appreciate some feedback regarding this.

We are looking for all of this information to be considered as a good luck for us to meet.

My hope is: Your question was already answered.
If not:
Is it possible as shown in your picture? Nope, no way.
Why?
You need flowing current to generate an electromagnetic field.
Therefor you need a closed electric circuit.
Other options?
Yes. You need two parallel wires in wich the current flows in the same direction.
Each wire builds it own electromagnetic field. (Look: "Right-Hand-Rule".)
The effect is visible here.
