Fe needed to lift up mass of size m

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic force required to lift a mass of 5 grams (0.005 kg) using the formula F = IL x B, where F is the force, I is the current, L is the length of the wire, and B is the magnetic field strength. The participants establish that the gravitational force acting on the mass is 49.05 N, necessitating a magnetic force greater than this to achieve lift. Key variables include a current of 3000 mA sourced from an AA battery and a coil with 10 turns and a length of 10 meters. The conversation highlights the importance of unit consistency and the need for further calculations to determine the height the mass can be lifted.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's Second Law (F = MA)
  • Familiarity with magnetic field calculations (F = IL x B)
  • Knowledge of electrical current and resistance in circuits
  • Basic principles of electromagnetism and coil design
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the effects of different coil configurations on magnetic field strength
  • Learn about the limitations of AA batteries in high-current applications
  • Explore the relationship between magnetic force and lift height in electromagnetic systems
  • Study the principles of inductance and its impact on coil design
USEFUL FOR

Electromagnetic engineers, physics students, hobbyists experimenting with electromagnetism, and anyone interested in the practical applications of magnetic fields in lifting mechanisms.

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 ?
