Some types of bacteria containchains of ferromagnetic particles parallel to their long axis. The chainsact like small bar magnets that align these magnetotactic bacteria withthe earth’s magnetic field. In one experiment to study the response ofsuch bacteria to magnetic fields, a solenoid is constructed with copperwire 1.0 mm in diameter, evenly wound in a single layer to form a helicalcoil of length 40 cm and diameter 12 cm. The wire has a very thinlayer of insulation, and the coil is wound so that adjacent turns are justtouching. The solenoid, which generates a magnetic field, is in an enclosurethat shields it from other magnetic fields. A sample of magnetotacticbacteria is placed inside the solenoid.
