AI Thread Summary
Copper generates a weak repulsive force when exposed to a magnetic field due to its induced magnetic properties. The strength of the magnetic field required to produce a significant repulsive force on copper depends on various factors, including the field's intensity and the copper's dimensions. While there is no simple formula universally applicable, the relationship can be explored through principles of electromagnetic induction and Lorentz force. Understanding these interactions can help in calculating the repulsive force generated by different strengths of electromagnets. The discussion highlights the complexities involved in quantifying the effects of magnetic fields on conductive materials like copper.

Hi so I am aware that when copper is introduced to a magnetic field it will generate it's own that repels the field inducing it, this repulsive force is weak but how strong of a magnetic field would it take to generate a considerable amount of force on the copper

Also is there a formula to find the relationship between the strength of the magnet (electromagnet) and the repulsive force on the copper.
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
