Calculating Magnetic field dimensions

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic field dimensions of a permanent magnet, such as a 10mm x 10mm N35 Neodymium cube, users can refer to online field calculators, including one provided by Arnold Magnetic Technologies. The discussion highlights the lack of readily available equations for this calculation. Additionally, there are mobile applications, including a free iPhone app from Arnold, that assist in determining magnetic field ranges. Users find these resources helpful for their specific needs. Accessing these tools can simplify the process of understanding magnetic field dimensions.

simple question which probably has a complex answer, if given the dimensions and composition or a permanent magnet ie if the magnet is a cube 10mm x 10mm N35 Neodymium where would one find the equation to calculate the range at which the magnet extended

Here is an online field calculator for both round and rectangular magnets.

There are others on the web. I don't know of where to find the equations.

Just a freebie, since you mentioned my employer. Arnold also has an app for that. If you're on an iPhone, you can go to the App Store and get a free iPhone app that does that, too.
 
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
