    Undergrad Question about magnetic fields and magnetic forces

    One more thing: the magnetic moment that each magnet exerts on another is equal and opposite too right?

    High School Do magnetic poles of an object have to be perpendicular to the object's surface?

    Thanks to everyone who's helped. My question has been adequately answered :)

    Undergrad Question about magnetic fields and magnetic forces

    Isn't the force derived from the sum of the two fields interacting with each other?

    Undergrad Question about magnetic fields and magnetic forces

    Ah thanks, I didn't know Newtow's third law applied to fundamental forces. Another thing: how do I get a good magnitude of the force exerted between two objects? Is (StrA+StrB)/Dist^2 a good estimation?

    High School Do magnetic poles of an object have to be perpendicular to the object's surface?

    Topic. If I have an iron shaped like a bar magnet placed flat on the floor, can the poles of the magnet be pointing anywhere else other than 90 degrees and 180 degrees?

    Undergrad Question about magnetic fields and magnetic forces

    It seems to me that when a strong electromagnet pulls in a mass greater than itself no counter force acts on it.

    Undergrad Question about magnetic fields and magnetic forces

    Hi all, I'm currently working on a game about magnetism and have run into some problems. I'm hoping that you guys here will be able to help me with it. I've been reading about magnetic phenomena on the net, and one of the things I've found is that the magnetic force exerted between two...
