Magnetic Field between two plates

In summary, the conversation discusses two equally-magnetized square plates of 0.23m side and 20g mass hanging from a common point with threads 20.0cm long. The plates repel and deflect at a small angle. The first question asks for the calculation of the B field when the distance between the plates is 0.123cm, while the second question asks for the magnetic field energy stored between the plates. The person has solved for the angle and tension in the string, but requires assistance with the remaining calculations.

Homework Statement



Two very thick equally-magnetized square plates of
side 0.23m and of mass 20 g, are hung by threads
20.0 cm long from a common point. The plates repel and
deflect from each other through a very small angle.

a) Calculate the B field between the two plates, if the
distance between them is 0.123 cm?

b) Calculate the magnetic
field energy stored between the two plates.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I so far solved for the angle, and solved for the tension in the string using W=Mg=Tcosθ

That's great.
Please show your working, and you best attempt at the bit you got stuck on.
 

What is a magnetic field between two plates?

A magnetic field between two plates is an area where magnetic forces are exerted between two parallel plates. This is typically created by passing an electrical current through the plates, which generates a magnetic field.

How is the strength of the magnetic field between two plates determined?

The strength of the magnetic field between two plates is determined by the amount of current passing through the plates and the distance between the plates. The closer the plates are, the stronger the magnetic field will be.

What is the direction of the magnetic field between two plates?

The direction of the magnetic field between two plates is perpendicular to the plates. This means that if the plates are parallel to the ground, the magnetic field will be vertical.

What are some applications of a magnetic field between two plates?

A magnetic field between two plates has many practical applications, such as in particle accelerators, magnetic levitation trains, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. It can also be used in experiments to study the effects of magnetic fields on different materials and particles.

How can the magnetic field between two plates be manipulated or controlled?

The strength and direction of the magnetic field between two plates can be manipulated by adjusting the amount of current passing through the plates, changing the distance between the plates, or by using external magnets to influence the field. This allows scientists to control and fine-tune the magnetic field for specific experiments or applications.
