AI Thread Summary
To calculate the attractive force between a permanent magnet and an electromagnet, a functional equation based on distance is needed. The complexity of magnetic fields makes it challenging, but resources like Wikipedia provide foundational formulas. Searching for "how to calculate the force between magnets" can yield useful results. Modeling one magnet type as the other can simplify the calculations. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate force estimation.

I am aware of the complexity of magnetic fields, all i need is a ballpark functional equation of distance between an electromagnet and a permanent magnet. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

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...
