Magnetic coil Definition and 13 Threads

How can I calculate the force from magnetic field of a solenoid, grabbing a small iron ball? I want to use the good old simple F=ma formula in order to calculate the ball's acceleration. But can't find a formula to somehow convert the known field quality (in unit Tesla) to Force (in unit...

So voltage is 12v the coil is 80 watts

Greetings! I was asked to provide an introduction: I am a retired Professor, in Music of all fields! I come from a family of engineers. I have long been researching sound and it's relationship with magnetic frequencies. I am also engaged in the development of a battery using permanent magnets.

Can anyone tell me how to determine the minimum resistance a battery needs to stop it from shorting? for example I'm making an electro magnet, with a 1.5v dc battery cell, but when i turn it on it just drains the battery.

Hello all. Me and some friends are building a coil cannon, and we've been doing some calculations [I know its unecessary but... well, we're physicists! (well, physics students...)]. But we got stuck. How to calculate the force acting on a steel bar (or some other ferromagnetic material, maybe...

I have this question which I need to solve . But I am unable to. Suppose I have a current ring of radius R and current I (constant). at a distance x from the centre of the ring, I have a iron disk (radius r and thickness t) present in the plane of the ring. This disk will be attracted to the...

Homework Statement We have two coils of copper wire, drawn below. One has a battery connected to it. The other one has a galvonometer connected. If the coil with the voltage is moved closer as shown in the picture, with considerable velocity, what direction will the current induced on the other...

Homework Statement Two coils of wire that have same shape and dimensions are thickly rolled up so that the coincide, they only differ in number of coils (windings) N1 for the firs one and N2 for the second one (N1<N2). When there's constant current in the first one and there's no current in the...

Hi guys, I'm a typical nerd that wanted to do an at home science project but don't want to spend lots of money on this coil. I would love to borrow/rent one if someone could help me. Otherwise if someone new a cheap supplier that i could get one off? It looks like either of these pictures :)...

Hey All, I'm trying to design a solenoid that would generate about minimum 1.6 A of current in order for me to charge up a 1.5 A 1.5 V battery. I already designed one which is about 10CM in length and unknown number of turns (as I used a drill to wind the coils around it. so I would guess its...

Homework Statement A coil with magnetic moment 1.40 Am^2 is oriented initially with its magnetic moment antiparallel to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.830 T. What is the change in potential energy of the coil when it is rotated 180 degrees, so that its magnetic moment is parallel...

Homework Statement (The information is for several questions and i have posted one of them) Two coils magnetically coupled, Voltage of 240v, 50Hz applied to coil 1, current of 2A flows, second coil connected only to a high impedance rms voltmeter reading 100v find: The peak total flux...

I don't know how to answer these questions. :( I know the alternating current makes the magnetic field changes. And the changing magnetic field generates emf.But I don't know why the emf is large enough to push the aluminum ring upward, and how come it goes up? thx a lot.
