Hello all, new here but plan to stick around for a while. I am currently trying to make a sensor that can detect if a material below it is paramagnetic. I believe paramagnetic is the proper term, but it needs to detect if the force exerted by permanent magnet is above a certain threshold. The setup is simple with a permanent disk magnet sitting on a force sensor with an air gap between the force sensor and the paramagnetic surface. Anyways, if I know the following parameters, can I calculate the force, or am I being naive?
I appreciate any and all help, note I'm not a physics major so this might not be as difficult as I am making it. Thanks in advance!
- Magnetic Field Strength (B)
- Radius of magnet (r)
- Height of magnet (h)
- Distance between magnet and surface (d)
- Magnetic Susceptibility of surface (X)
