Magnetic field of cylindrical magnet

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic field of a cylindrical magnet positioned at a point P in cylindrical coordinates. The user seeks a general analytical model for a magnet with specific dimensions and remanent flux density, expressing frustration over the complexity of existing papers and the lack of clear assumptions in simpler models. It is noted that while finite element methods like COMSOL can simplify the process, the user is looking for a more straightforward analytical solution. The conversation highlights the challenges in deriving magnetic field solutions due to the complexities of differential equations and boundary conditions. Overall, the quest for a simple yet general analytical solution remains unresolved.

Hi,

I wanted to calculate the magnetic field of a cylindrical magnet at a point P (r,ɵ,z). The magnet can be at the origin or anywhere convenient. Preferably the axis of the magnet is aligned with the z axis.

The magnet is of radius r_m and height h_m. The remanent flux density of the magnet is B_r. I have seen a few papers, but some of them are too complex. The simple solutions too, involve models which have unclear assumptions.

If you know a good analytical model, please point me in the right direction. I know that using FEM (say COMSOL) it is really easy.

Regards,

Thanks! But that's a very specific case - I am necessarily looking for a general case solution.

I appreciate your effort though.
 
It's just that there is no simple solution, analytical and general.

As you may often expect when a field defined by a differential equation has edgy boundaries.

And as you may expect about every time with the magnetic field, because it makes no huge difference between conductors and isolators.
 
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...
