Electromagnet repulsion increased significantly

AI Thread Summary
When two electromagnets are aligned with the same current direction and placed with like poles facing each other, they repel each other due to magnetic forces. The repulsive force increases linearly with the magnitude of the currents in the magnets, as described by the formula relating to the product of the currents. The geometry of the coils and their configuration can enhance the magnetic force, suggesting that engineering improvements can lead to stronger interactions. The shape of the core, such as using a pentagon or octagon, may contribute to increased structural rigidity and potentially enhance the magnetic strength. Understanding these principles can help in designing more effective electromagnet systems.

when two electro magnets are coiled the same and same direction of current are placed S to S so they repell... is the force acting upon them to separate ( push away ) exponentially increased (when they are very close) as each of the separate magnets current is increased?
is there a formula I am looking for?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The magnetic force between two current carrying wires is proportional to the product of the currents i1 * i2. The constant of proportionality depends on the geometry of the coils and can be increased by engineering, but the dependence of the force on the magnitude of the currents is always a simple linear relationship.
 
that makes sense, i figured it worked like that :smile: what's that you say about geom and the force can be increased with proper engineering? are you referring to the shape of the core which the coils are wrapped around? can a metric pentagon or octagon bar increase the strength of the force because of the structural rigidity?
 

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...
