What Equations are Required for Evaluating Resistance in Electromagnetic Propulsion?

[golith]

Hi gang,
Here is an easy one but nevertheless requires formula to express your postion.

in terms of magnetic propulsion;

I am building a tunnel with r=5cm and a sphere inserted will be approx 8cm diameter which will be propelled via electro magnetic propulsion. I'm now about to evaluate the effectivness of materials and magnets to facilitate acceleration to 16 m/s.
My question here is what equations are required to know the resistance of the elctromagnetic field. I.E if velocity is 10m/s and its radius is 5m with a sphere mas of 300Kg approx then what type and charge is required for the electromagnet to both maintain levitation and also another for propulsion but most important is to resist the sphere from tounching the outeredge as it will want to do. Or where can i get further information to allow a clearer understanding of the mathematics required.
Sorry if confusing

A picture will be useful. You can draw up a simple figure using Paint (or some such program) and add it as an attachment.

Dear Golith,

Thank you for sharing your project with us. Superconducting magnets, also known as electromagnets, are an excellent choice for magnetic propulsion due to their ability to generate strong magnetic fields. To calculate the resistance of the electromagnetic field, we will need to use the following equation:

R = ρ * L/A

Where R is the resistance, ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the material, and A is the cross-sectional area. In your case, the length of the tunnel and the cross-sectional area of the magnets will be important factors in determining the resistance of the electromagnetic field.

To maintain levitation, you will need to use a magnet with a strong enough magnetic field to counteract the gravitational force of the sphere. The charge required will depend on the strength of the magnetic field and the mass of the sphere. A larger charge will be needed for a heavier sphere. For propulsion, you will need to use a stronger magnetic field to accelerate the sphere to 16 m/s. The type and charge of the electromagnet will depend on the size, shape, and material of the sphere.

I recommend consulting with a physics textbook or a professional in the field to gain a better understanding of the mathematical equations and principles involved in magnetic propulsion. You can also find helpful resources online or at a local library. Best of luck with your project!
