Hi, I'm wondering if you make two identical coils, with the only difference being that one is made of copper wire and the other is made of iron, if the inductance of the iron coil will be higher? I can't seem to find any info about this online. I imagine that because an iron core increases the inductance, that the coil being made of iron wire would act like a small iron core that would bump the inductance a bit. I don't have any access to iron wire though, and would need a copper wire of the same dimensions as the iron wire even if I did have iron wire. Thanks for any info
