    A Iron ionisation energy value query

    I'm looking at fe ionisation. Wherever I look I get similar values. Probably because everybody just keeps reusing published values... I think the value for the 24 th level is incorrect but I'm not sure how to validate this. The published value is 195200 but I think it should be more like...

    Iron & Magnetic Fields: Permeability or Screening?

    Hi All, It is said that iron has a high "permeability" for the magnetic field, it let's the magnetic field pass through it more easily. But it is also said that iron screens the magnetic field? Don't these two contradict themselves? Thanks, Ionel

    Explaining Magnetic Force on Iron Without Moving Charge

    Hi, I am a high school physics student and the only ways we learned to calculate the magnitude of a magnetic force involved a moving charge or current in a wire. As a result I have wondered how a bar magnetic magnet may exert a force on a piece of iron, since there is no clear movement of charge...

    Ring magnet sliding on iron core solenoid actuator

    Hi everyone, I have lots of (potentially dumb) questions about this "project" I'm working on. It's a voice coil actuator, but with things a bit reversed. Here's how a regular voice-coil actuator is constructed: The rod that is inside the coil is a magnet and the outer cylinder continues the...

    I Movement of a iron ring inside a toroidal solenoid

    What happens when you apply power to a toroidal solenoid with a iron ring inside? Does the ring move? Does the speed of movement depend on the amount of power? Sorry if this is too easy, I have no education in physic.

    Why can't we use an iron bar as magnet

    A really basic question: since room temperature (300K) is much lower than the Curie point of iron (1043K), the spins in an iron bar at room temperature should be lined up even when the external magnetic field B=0 Then why can't we use any iron bar as magnet? Instead we have to rub the iron bar...

    Elemental iron in ferrous sulfate

    I have read that ferrous sulfate has 65mg of elemental iron per 325 mg tablet. Then I read that dried ferrous sulfate has 50 mg per 160 mg tablet. Does this mean that the wet ferrous sulfate has water with it? It seems that the dried version matches the percentages based on the chemical formula.

    What would happen if an iron sinks on the ocean? Velocity

    if I throw a ball of iron on the ocean, the velocity in which it will sink will be lower at the beginning and higher getting near the deepest part of it? As it may be forced by the pressure of water? (the weight of water)
