Max Magnetic Field of Micro-Electromagnets | 0.5 Tesla?

In summary, the maximum magnetic field strength of a micro-electromagnet is 0.5 Tesla, determined by the type of permanent magnet, size and shape of the magnet, and amount of current. It can be increased by using stronger materials or increasing current. This strength is important in various applications but can also pose safety concerns, particularly for individuals with medical implants. Careful handling and following safety guidelines is crucial.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew, or if anyone knows where I can find, the maximum magnetic field that a micro - electromagnet can put off... I am sure this depends on a lot, but I just need an estimation as I am running a simulation and need a typical value.

I ran the simulation with 0.1 Tesla... but I need something more like 0.5 Tesla. Is this possible for a magnet that is approximatley 100 micrometers in all 3 dimensions? Any advice will help. Thanks.

I can provide some information regarding the maximum magnetic field that micro-electromagnets can produce. The strength of a magnetic field depends on several factors such as the size and shape of the magnet, the material used, and the current passing through it. In general, the smaller the size of the magnet, the weaker the magnetic field it can produce.

Based on your description, a micro-electromagnet that is approximately 100 micrometers in all three dimensions may not be able to produce a magnetic field of 0.5 Tesla. This is because the strength of the magnetic field decreases as the distance from the magnet increases. In order to produce a magnetic field of 0.5 Tesla at a distance of 100 micrometers, the magnet would need to have a very high current passing through it, which may not be feasible for a micro-electromagnet.

I would recommend consulting with a magnet expert or conducting further research to determine the maximum magnetic field that can be produced by a micro-electromagnet of your specific size and material. Additionally, you may need to consider using a larger magnet or increasing the current to achieve the desired magnetic field strength in your simulation. I hope this helps.
