Understanding Magnetic Force: Formulas and Terminology

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force between two magnetized objects with magnetic fields B1 and B2, it's important to note that magnetic fields do not exert forces on each other directly. Instead, they exert forces on moving charged particles or magnetized objects. The total magnetic energy in a system can be expressed as W = (1/2μ0)∫B2 dVvolume, and the force in the x-direction is given by Fx = ∂W/∂x. The terms 'a' and 'volume' refer to specific parameters in the context of magnetic fields, with 'volume' indicating the spatial extent over which the magnetic field is integrated. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating magnetic forces.

this is a very low level question:

I want to calculate the force that it is between two magnetic field .

PLZ give me a formula of it for B1 & B2.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Magnetic fields don't exert forces on each other. Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charged particles, or on electric currents, or on magnetized objects.
 
I know that but I say my question in bad way.

mainly my question is about the force between two magnetized objects that have magnetic field (B1 & B2).

Suppose the total magnetic energy stored in a system is

W = (1/2μ0)∫B2 dVvolume

Then the force in direction x is given by

Fx = ∂W/∂x

thank you.

PLZ tell me that what 'a' & 'volume' means in a magnetic field?
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
