Magnetics Definition and 53 Threads

If we take a surface with a strong negatively charged field and place a magnet in it in a specified position so that it does not change its angle, will the magnet be repelled and move to the side?

Imagine two parallel lines of five magnets each, spaced a few millimeters apart. In the first line, all magnets have their north poles facing one direction. In the second line, each magnet's south pole faces the corresponding north pole of the first line, but the magnets are offset by one along...

We have an ideal electrical transformer, 1:1 turns ratio. We can ignore winding resistance, core losses, hysteresis, core saturation, etc. Call the primary P and the secondary S. The secondary is connected to a programmable voltage generator and to a resistance R in a simple series circuit...

What is/are the potential or theoretical effect on electricity due to reversal of planetary magnetic field? Would circuitry continue to function or would knowledge and understanding need re-evaluating as a result of a reversal of our magnetic field on planet Earth? Note: this is not a homework...

The motor is required to operate at its resonance frequency and I am looking to add a thin-walled (0.010") copper tube inside the stator bore to add some damping. The current motor air-gap is 0.015". If I install a copper tube in the stator bore bonded to the stator and leave a 0.005" air-gap...

So I'm kinda stumped. I'm assuming that since ##\vec{m}||\vec{B}##, the x and y components of both are zero. But I'm unsure how to take this further.

Hi all, I have a question which I think should be a simple solve for most people but I cannot seem to get my head around it. It is a common case in geophysical surveying that a magnetic field vertical gradiometer might be used. This instrument uses two magnetometers separated by a known...

Hello I had an idea a while ago If we have an electric motor with 8 poles where all poles are the same (north or south) 360 degree And rotor is iron core which can have eddy current What came in my mind is the rotor will be wightless but don't know what will happen Perfect use of this idea is...

Anyone else seen lots of recent news articles on this? Is it as scary as some portray?

I am trying to calculate the ripple current in boost converter for ∆i1 and ∆i2 between time intervals between DT and T, and also dependent on the voltage level (Vin or Vin-Vout). To find a formula for ∆i1 and ∆i2, two formulas have to be derived for them. This is done from the equation: I...

This thread is an attempt to better understand the pseudo direct drive, or PDD, gear. What I do know is it's made up of a set of magnets which can serve the function of a reducer- a basic diagram of it as well as a video can be seen below. In this mechanism, the inner rotor is the input while...

Dear Forumers, This question is about load-line analysis for loudspeaker driver magnetic circuits in FEMM 4.2 (Finite Element Method for Magnetics), I can't seem to get an answer from the mailing lists. I would like to get the permeance coefficient for random points inside the magnet. I have...

Suppose a closed loop with constant current around the loop. The loop is in a uniform constant B field. The force is \vec F=I\left (\oint_c d\vec l\right ) \times \vec B. Being a closed loop \oint_c d\vec l=0. So there is no force acting on the loop. BUT at the same time, we know there...

If you have the primary and secondary coils of a transformer next to each other, then current will induce a voltage in the secondary coil, creating current flow. This question applies to motors as well. If I place a sheet of steel between the two coils, will I still induce a voltage? For...

Could anybody tell me, if there is anything that can distract magnetic field, but not in the way diamagnetics do. I.E. when I put two magnets on table N|S S|N they will start repulsing themselves, and i want to know, what can i put between them, to avoid reaction of repulsing, so there will be...
