Alright guys working on an experiment try to find out more info on the subject. Please move to the right part of forum if not in the right place. I put this here since I'm dealing with electro magnets. Here is my question is it possible to use and electromagnet to pull down on let's say a metal...

Let us start with a bit of background information. I am working on seeing if I can construct a very small version of Keith Lofstrom's Launch Loop concept, to see how well I can get it to work. To do this, I am using a larger clear plastic tube as the sheath, and a smaller plastic tube with...

Homework Statement Determine the direction of the dipole moment of a magnet with unknown poles. You are given a Hall probe and can use other devices commonly found in a lab. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I was thinking since the Hall probe uses voltage to determine the strength...

Hello, could someone explain to me, how I should cut a FeBa magnet, if it has one pole facing upward and the other downward so that the bloch wall would be across the entire length of the magnet. The dimensions of the magnet at hand are 152 x 102 x 52 mm. The bloch wall runs across the entire...

Homework Statement It is known that when rubbing a needle on a magnet, the needle will become magnetized. If you rub the needle on the north side of the magnet, will it point differently than if you rubbed it on the south side of the magnet? Does it matter what direction you rub the needle...

Hi! I'm curious to know, whether it is possible to produce electricity by moving a piece of metal over a magnet (i.e a immobile magnet and a moving piece of metal close to the magnet), and how this would be done in practice.

Hi! In school I was thaught that magnet doesn't have anything to do with the motion of electrons, but then when you see the way electromagnetic induction work, it seems like the magnet move the electrons somehow. How is that possible and can we control the movement? Thanks a lot and sorry for my...

Lenz's law shows that dropping a magnet through an aluminum pole will cause an induced current that slows down its fall drastically. I found a website that talks about this a little: https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/TTT-slowfall/slowfall.htm It has the following question: I don't see any...

Hi all, Consider one has a magnetic dipole, the field given by: \begin{equation} \vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\left(\frac{3(\vec{m}\cdot\vec{r})\vec{r}}{r^5}-\frac{\vec{m}}{r^3}\right) \end{equation} where we can take $$\vec{m} = m\hat{y}$$. Let us say we have the a magnet vector which is...

Even if the outer core is convecting and conductive it is still charge neutral, so how can a Magnetic field be generated? Maxwells Equation say there needs to be net charge moving for a Magnetic field to be generated.

Hi, I was wondering whether a bar magnet would induce a current if it was moving external to the solenoid, rather than within the coil. I see no reason why it wouldn't occur, but I've never seen it displayed or mentioned so I'm not sure. Thank you.

Homework Statement Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I got a Magnetic field by "Magnetized needle". I think it's just magnet. But i don't know how to get a magnetic flux due to the variable "d" that should be erased.

I am trying to calculate the forces (in Newtons) between a permanent magnet, and an electromagnet. All I can find is interactions between permanent magnets, electromagnets, but never both and it is getting really confusing for me to do the calculations. So basically, if I have a permanent...

I did a little experiment the other day. It involved connecting headphones to a copper disc and a battery. Then I placed a magnet under the disc. When current flows with the magnet present I get this strange sound similar to squeezing ice. What am I hearing? I don't believe it to be the...

If I wrap a coil around a bar magnet and shoot current through the coil so that the magnetic field of the electromagnet is at the same polarity of the bar magnet will I have amplified the magnetic field of the bar magnet maintaining the same magnetic shape but bigger/stronger?

The other day I used my Ludlum survey meter to check out if any of my old junk electrical part may show any traces of radioactivity. I was rather surprised to find an old meter movement magnet showed some activity. Today I took some pictures while determining just how much activity there was...

So when a conductor in complete circuit is placed next to a moving magnetic field, current in the conductor is induced and the induced current again produces its own magnetic field. So does this new magnetic field act on the conductor? It's the same as the question in the title. Is my concept...

If a magnet was going fast enough as it approached/entered a copper tube, could the current induced in the tube via Lenz's Law be high enough to melt or even vaporize the tube?

So I understand that a charged particle moving relative to me has a magnetic field, and does not have one if its stationary relative to me... So is it true that a magnet moving relative to me has a charge? Say I took a bar magnet and threw it away from me way out in space, would it acquire a...

I am creating a product that incorporates magnetic sensing of magnetic nanoparticles. However due to their cost, I have decided to search for other avenues of testing. My question is about whether Iron Powder will retain a magnetic field once magnetized. I basically will place some iron powder...

Let's say I have a charge q which is viewed from its rest frame. So it's velocity v is 0. So the so-called magnetic component of its Lorentz force, which is q v x B, is 0. But I can have a magnet moving in this frame of reference. Let's say the velocity of this magnet according to the charge's...
