How to Calculate Magnetic Field and Current for Electromagnetic Disc Brakes?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the design and calculations involved in an Electromagnetic Disc Brake system. Participants are exploring how to calculate the magnetic field and current necessary to decelerate a vehicle from 100 km/h to 0 km/h, alongside considerations of the advantages and disadvantages of electric brakes.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant shares links to their calculations and requests feedback on potential mistakes.
  • Another participant questions the rationale behind using electric brakes, asking for a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages.
  • There is a concern raised about the appropriateness of posting homework-related queries in the current section of the forum.
  • Some participants express difficulty accessing the shared attachments.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the appropriateness of the post's location, the accessibility of the attachments, or the advantages of electric brakes. Multiple competing views remain regarding the discussion's focus and the nature of the inquiry.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the accessibility of shared files and the requirement for homework-related discussions to be posted in a designated section. The discussion lacks detailed calculations or established methods for determining the magnetic field and current.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in the design of braking systems, particularly in the context of electromagnetism and vehicle dynamics, may find this discussion relevant.

Please have a look on it. and mention my mistakes. The next thing I want to know , how to calculate the magnetic field and current required to stop the vehicle from 100 Km/h to 0 Km/h

Waiting for replies..
Thanks

may I as k WHY electric brakes?
what do you think the advantages are vs disadvantages..
 
Thsi is our project defined by the professor. Have u checked attachemnts?
 
The attachments are not opening for me.

Isn't homework, etc. to be posted in another section.
 
you don't have rapid share account?
 
give me email.. i will send it on ut email address.
 
Please do not post or request e-mail addresses.

Also, wikicheema, you need to repost this in the homework forum and show your work on the template provided.
