AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the force experienced by an object within a solenoid due to the magnetic flux density. It highlights that while the flux density can be calculated easily, determining the force is more complex, especially for arbitrarily shaped objects. A cylindrical bar magnet is suggested as a potential simplification for deriving an equation. It is noted that an object with simple permeability will experience zero force in a uniform magnetic field, emphasizing the necessity of a non-uniform magnetic field to generate force. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately predicting the behavior of objects in solenoids.

Force Inside a Solenoind ?

Hello

I'm working on a personal project which involves a solenoid. I'm trying derive an equation for the Force(N) that an object would experience due to the flux density inside the coil.

The flux density can be calculated relatively easily by the fallowing equation.

Given the material permeability what force would this object experience due to the B field created by the solenoid?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

There is no simple formula for an arbitrarily shaped body. You might could derive an equation for the force if you assume a cylindrical bar magnet is used.
 


Is there a way to figure out how strong the induce magnetic field will be on the object...?
 


The force an object of simple permeability mu inside a solenoid producing uniform B will be zero. A force on such an object requires a non-uniform B.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
