Design Electromagnet

AI Thread Summary

To design an electromagnet that achieves a specific repulsive force at a distance of 25mm, understanding Maxwell's Force Formula is essential. The formula provides a way to calculate the force exerted by an electromagnet based on its current, magnetic field strength, and distance. Methodologies for design should include considerations of coil dimensions, wire gauge, and core material to optimize performance. Additionally, practical experimentation may be necessary to refine the design and achieve the desired force. Accurate calculations and adjustments are crucial for successful electromagnet design.

I want to design electromagnet for my project. I want to know which formulas are used while designing electromagnets and methodology if we know repulsive force we require at a distance of 25mm from one end of electromagnet.

Look up Maxwell's Force Formula and perhaps see the links below under "Similar discussions..."

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

Thread 'Electrons in LC circuit'

Hello. My question is: When a capacitor in LC circuit is out of charge (T/4) does that mean that all electrons left the capacitor or that there is the same quantity of electrons on both plates?

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

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...
