Magnet side force is the force that is exerted between two magnets when they are placed side by side. It is also known as lateral force or transverse force.
Magnet side force is caused by the magnetic field lines of the two magnets interacting with each other. The magnets have opposite poles (north and south) which attract each other, creating a force perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Magnet side force can be calculated using the formula F = B x H x l, where F is the force, B is the magnetic flux density, H is the magnetic field strength, and l is the length of the magnets in contact.
The closer the magnets are placed, the stronger the magnet side force will be. This is because the magnetic field lines are more concentrated and have a shorter distance to travel, resulting in a stronger force between the magnets.
Yes, magnet side force can be blocked or shielded by materials that are not magnetic, such as wood or plastic. This is because these materials do not have magnetic properties and cannot interact with the magnetic field lines of the magnets.
