Trapping Iron Plate Motion Using Magnetic Shield

AI Thread Summary
An iron plate can move through magnetic field lines created by a permanent magnet, transitioning from areas of lower to higher magnetic density. By employing a magnetic shield, it is possible to create a trap that places the iron plate in a region devoid of magnetic field lines, allowing it to maintain its motion. The principle of inertia states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless influenced by an external force. This concept highlights the potential for utilizing magnetic shields in motion control applications. Understanding these dynamics can lead to innovative designs in magnetic systems.

An iron plate would glide through magnetic field lines from the more separated towards the more condensed of a permanent magnet. If we use a magnetic shield to make a trap where that iron plate finds itself in dead area (no magnetic field lines) then it would continue the motion it gained .https://www.physicsforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27274&stc=1&d=1280523071

Absolutely! Once in motion by any means, an object will continue in motion unless acted on by some outside force.
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
