Calc magnetic pressure in a pinch

[Transfixed]

Hi,

I have a few questions about magnetic field strength and was wondering if someone could get me started in the right direction?

Firstly I would like to know if it is possible to calculate the force applied to a conductive gas or indeed a solid object (such as a metal rod) inside a magnetic pinch (from a copper work coil)?

Secondly would it be possible to calculate the strength of the magnetic field from a copper coil electromagnet?

And lastly is there a way to determine the strength of the magnetic field if it has to pass through another object, in this case a sheet of tungsten at varying thicknesses?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Curtis.

Yes, it is possible to calculate the force applied to a conductive gas or solid object inside a magnetic pinch. You would need to know the current running through the copper work coil, the magnetic field strength of the coil, and the distance and direction between the object and the coil. The force on the object is calculated using the Lorentz force equation. It is also possible to calculate the strength of the magnetic field from a copper coil electromagnet. You would need to know the current running through the coil, the number of turns in the coil, and the radius of the coil. The magnetic field strength is calculated using the Biot-Savart law.Finally, it is possible to determine the strength of the magnetic field if it has to pass through another object. You would need to know the magnetic field strength before it reaches the object and the material properties of the object such as its permeability, thickness, and area. The magnetic field strength can then be calculated using the equation for magnetic field strength after a medium.
