Magnetic Moment Of Steel and Iron Wire

AI Thread Summary
The magnetic moment of steel and iron wire depends on whether the wire is magnetized and the specific magnetization level. To calculate the magnetic moment (M) for a wire of length L, the formula M = m*L is used, where m represents the magnetic pole strength. Users are seeking methods to determine the value of m for iron or steel wires, particularly when using a magnetize/demagnetize device. Understanding the magnetization process is crucial for accurate calculations. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity on the magnetization properties of the materials involved.

Hello all,

i would like to ask which is the magnetic moment of a steel and a iron wire with a length of 10,20 or 30cm!
Is there any equation from which the magnetic moment can be derived?


Thanks in advance :)!

No, since it depends on whether the wire is magnetized or not (and if it is, what the magnetization is).
 
Hello!

Thanx for your reply! I have a magnitize/demagnitize device and i want to magnetize a wire! How do i find the magnetization?

Is it the magnetization of the device?
 
actually i found out that the magnetic moment of a wire with length L is M , where M = m*L. m is the magnetic pole strength.

how can i calculate the value m for a iron or steel wire?
 

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
