SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of applying an extremely high voltage, specifically 8.4 x 1021 volts, through a series of magnets for 30 minutes. Participants clarify that voltage is not "run through" magnets but rather applied between two points. The consensus is that the claimed voltage is exaggerated and impractical, as such high voltage levels would likely result in catastrophic consequences.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical voltage and its application
  • Basic knowledge of magnetism and electromagnetic principles
  • Familiarity with electrical safety standards and consequences of high voltage
  • Concept of voltage vs. current in electrical circuits
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electromagnetism and how voltage interacts with magnetic fields
  • Study the effects of high voltage on materials and safety protocols
  • Learn about voltage application techniques in electrical engineering
  • Explore real-world applications of high voltage in scientific experiments
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physicists, and anyone interested in high voltage applications and electromagnetic theory will benefit from this discussion.

I would like to know if there is a maximum amount of Voltage one could run trhough a series of magnets for about 30 minutes. A friend says that he could run more than 8.4 X 10^21 V through a series of magnets but I don't think so. COuld he really just run that much electricity through multiple magnets for a significant amount of time like 30 minutes without any consequences?

What do you mean by this?
 
Andrew042, we do not "run voltage through a series of" anything, including a series of magnets. We may APPLY a voltage from point A to point B. So, you might apply some voltage to magnets. For what reason would anyone want to apply voltage to a series of magnets for some time period? Why do that?

The voltage your friend told you is approximately 8,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 Volts! That is so large I can't even say it in words! Your friend is exaggggerating!
