Fe needed to lift up mass of size m

Click For Summary
To lift a mass of 5 grams to a height of 3 centimeters using magnetic fields, the force required is calculated as 49.05 N. The formula F = IL x B is used to determine the necessary magnetic field strength, with I being the current from a power source like a battery. Concerns are raised about the capability of an AA battery to supply 3000 mA for a sustained period. The discussion highlights the importance of ensuring units are consistent, particularly for length in meters. Finally, the group seeks clarification on how to calculate the height the object will reach once lifted.

opposites magnetic fields repel each others. How big of an magnetic would I need to lift mass ( 5g) 3 centimetre in the air.
F = MA
A = 9.81 m/s^2
M = mass of the object ( 5 g)
F = 49.05

F = I L x B
49.05 = IL X B
I = 3000 mA ( from a AA battery)
µ = 4π E-7 T m/A
Bsol = µ N/L I
F = IL X µ N/ L * I
N= number of turns in coil

N = 10
L = 10 m
um..
Am I doing this right? I feel like I am missing something...

Mass of object must be kilogram.

no opposite poles attract :wink:

an AA battery is going to struggle to give 3A for any length of time ( other than some of your high current NiCd's)

don't really know, you showed a lot of formula without plugging in the numbers and showing your workingDave
 
in Fb = IL X B
what unit should L be in ?
meters?

if F = 49.05 N that mean that you need Fb to be greater than 49.05 to get the object off the ground right?
but how do you get how high up it will go ?
 
Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
