    Magnetic Field outside an Iron Core Solenoid

    Thanks! I have a couple follow up questions. How does this incorporate moving the sensor farther away on the z plane? And how do I use a hysteresis curve, since there does not seem to be a standard one available online?

    Magnetic Field outside an Iron Core Solenoid

    I need help in calculating the magnetic field outside of an iron core solenoid at different distances. I have made an electromagnet by taking a 99.99% pure iron (5cm in length and 1 mm in radius) and wrapping wire over it. I have measured it's magnetic field at the end and cannot find an...

    How to Optimize a simple Electromagnet

    I am just making this for class, but those were the specs I was given to make. I do not think I will be able to bend the bar ( I assume you are talking about a horseshoe electromagnet). My options are to cut the iron core in half and line it up side by side, or keep turning the coils around the...

    How to Optimize a simple Electromagnet

    My goal is to make an electromagnet that delivers 100mT magnetic field on one end of the iron. The iron core has a diameter 2.0mm and length 0.1m. I am using a copper wire that can carry 2.3A of current, and I am using a DC power supply. I have been able to create a 100mT magnetic field on the...
