AI Thread Summary
Calculating the windings for a 1 T solenoid electromagnet with an iron core involves complex formulas that vary based on factors like core material and measurement location. Achieving 1 T is challenging, especially with a homemade setup, as commercial MRI machines use superconducting magnets to reach such field strengths. The user is attempting to use Biot-Savart and other formulas but finds discrepancies in winding numbers, particularly when accounting for the iron core's properties. They are currently calculating around 10,000 windings with a 1 Amp current, which seems excessively high. Clarification on the specific application and desired magnetic field location is needed to refine the calculations.

How do i calculate the amound of windings I need to make an solonoid electro magnet with around 1 T..

I checked with google, and there seesm to be a lot of different formulaes which confusses me alot..
 
Physics news on Phys.org
One Tesla is a significant magnetic field for an electromagnet in continuous operation, so unless you're talking about pulsed operation, you're not going to like the answer. The exact answer will vary depending on where you measure the field, what metal/alloy your core is made of, and so forth, but it's somewhat beyond what one can achieve with a homemade electromagnet. If you can give some additional detail, I can provide you the relevant equation.
 
Current MRI machines operate between 0.2 and 3 teslas. A standard strength MRI with a 1.5 T field costs between US$1.0 million and US$1.5 million. In order to produce this field strength, the MRI machines use cryogenically cooled superconducting electromagnets. Good Luck with a plain old iron-core solenoid!
 
Well 1T Where maybe a bit extreme.. its more like 0,46T, and i want it at the side, or int he bottom, and yes it has to be pulsed..

I've been using different formulaes, but no one seesm to take the iron core with in their calculation, which results in different number of winding.. I am only using 1Amp.

First one is using Biot savart formula.

B(z) = \frac{µ0}{2pi}*\frac{µ}{z^3}

Where µ here is the dipole moment.. µ= N*i*ASecond one
B=µ0(1+xm)H

Where xm =5*10^3 is the ironcores suscebility, and H is the magnetic intensity which is the
H=M/5*10^3
M=N*I*A/Vol
A=0,01*0,01
Vol=0,01^2*0,03

Here is the iron core taken into acount, but my winding number is too high.. around 10000..

So which one should i Use..
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
