AI Thread Summary
Designing a solenoid to interact with a magnetite-powder tip requires understanding the magnetic field gradient, as a uniform field does not exert force. The force generated depends on the gradient of the magnetic field and the volume of the magnetite material rather than just the area of the tip. The particle size of the magnetite powder is specified as 95% < 170 mesh (~53µ), which is crucial for calculating the effective volume. For a tip area of pi*(0.2mm)^2, the volume of the magnetite powder must be determined to estimate the force accurately. Accurate specifications and calculations are essential for effective solenoid design.

Hi

I am designing a solenoid to interact with a magnetite-powder tip. I can't find specifications about the magnetite I am using, and properties seem to depend on factors I don't know. Could you give me a rough estimate (just order of magnitude is fine) of the force give a certain magnetic field B of the solenoid and a tip of area pi*(0.2mm)^2 covered in magnetite powder?

Thank you
Cristina

A uniform field won't exert a force on the solenoid.

It's the gradient of the field you need.

Assuming an air coil with ~ 100 Gauss and... I need the volume of the magnetic material, not just the area.
 
It says on the pack of magnetite powder: 'Particle size: 95% < 170 mesh (~53µ)'. We are going 'dip' the tip of the object, having area pi*(0.2mm)^2, into this magnetic powder.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
