How Do You Calculate the Force Between Two Magnets?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the force between two magnets, specifically for an investigation involving an electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The only known equation mentioned is for the force between a magnet and a wire, f=ILBsinΘ. Participants note that the force calculation depends on the geometry of the magnets' arrangement. Additional resources, such as Wikipedia, are suggested for further information. Understanding the specific setup is crucial for accurate force calculations.

I know I am not doing collage or uni stuff but this is more advance stuff that that by a little bit.

Does anyone know an equation for the force between 2 magnets. the only one we get is for a magnet and a wire f=ILBsinΘ.

This is to help me with an investigation with an electro magnet and a perma magnet.

Any info will help. Thanks.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
