A superconductor with little or no magnetic field within it is said to be in the Meissner state. The Meissner state breaks down when the applied magnetic field is too strong.
But what happens if an electromagnet that is at first "turned off" is suddenly "turned on", in the close proximity of a...
Hello, I have found an interesting alternative to the common loudspeaker motor in the form of a magnetic repulsion circuit. The picture below shows the basic idea. A coil is suspended between two magnets (or pairs of magnets) that are a certain distance apart. The magnets are mounted so that...
I formulated a statement about the repulsion between a permanent magnet and an air core coil (electromagnets without a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic core), and I believe this statement is true, but I would like to seek the opinion of others about it:
"In a system where an electromagnet made...
I would like to receive some input about this "equation" formulated by me, a=f(i), regarding a system with a permanent magnet and an air core coil acting as an electromagnet, as described in the image:
I understand that the acceleration provided to the toy car will be a function of the...
I'm trying to understand the repulsive forces of solenoids. This is all paper as in I don't actually have them to test in real life. Take two solenoids that are equal to each other.
Specifications:
current is 10 amps
Number of turns is 300
Iron rod is 12 inches/ 304.8mm, with a Radius of 2...
In my experiment I am performing a collision with two carts with magnets attached with photogates and a labquest on an air track. I pushed the carts together and made sure that the carts did not come into contact. Based on my knowledge of collisions, I believed that the collision would have been...
First off, I am new here, so please don't tear me apart too hard if I miss or misinterpret something, I'll cotton on eventually :D
As I understand it, when a permanent magnet repels an oppositely charged object, such as another oppositely charged permanent magnet, no energy is technically being...
I need help find a electromagnet suitable for this http://imgur.com/a/vkm4T
Each electromagnet (the 3 in the center) needs a repelling force of about 20 to 40lbf. I stupidly bought these from amazon http://a.co/aSftIat. Its a holding electromagnet so the N and S poles are essentially on the same...
Hello PF!
I am about to conduct a physics experiment to write my high school level paper on. I initially was going to investigate the Gaussian Gun, but my physics teacher has said that I need to have real life, practical applications of the model, and to also have a variable I can change and...
Homework Statement
We are building a maglev train for an engineering physics project. We have a prototype that is going to work for us but we are struggling with the mathematics. We are using ceramic magnets that are 3/16in thick and 1/2 inch in diameter. One of our project partners has an...
Was just wondering is it only possible for magnetic attraction? because the force increases exponentially with decreased distance, or can it be used for repulsion. It's blatantly obvious that magnetic repulsion is a lot weaker than attraction, by a 10% margin. hence why repulsion is weaker, but...
I have been trying to come up with a good question for my Ib extended essay which is a 4000 words essay about any physics topic of my choice. However, with this topic I need to come up with an experiment to further investigate this topic and write up an analysis and conclusion. I am really...
Hi Guys! I have a, rather general, question regarding the nature of magnet repulsion.
When two opposite poled magnets are put in contact, they naturally attract, but if two like poled magnets meet they would repel. Using such information:
-When two like poles repel, why do they not repel...
You may have noticed that the materials that make good magnets are the same as the materials magnets attract. This is because magnets attract materials that have unpaired electrons that spin in the same direction. In other words, the quality that turns a metal into a magnet also attracts the...
i have a set of neodynium magnets which i am using for a magnetic levitation project... will the constant exposure to an opposing magnetic field weaken the magnets over time? are 'permenant' magnets really permenant?
Hope I'm in the right spot, google searches lead me here.
I am working with a couple N50 ring magnets which are axially magnetized, as an alternative to a coil spring. They are going around a steel rod which acts as the guide, and is an integral part of the complete assembly.
My question...
Homework Statement
A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.040 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 30.0 A and the bottom wire carries a current of 90.0 A. Find the distance of separation between the wires so that the top wire will be held in...
I'm doing an investigation where I am trying to find the repulsion force of cylindrical magnets. For this I have two ferromagnetic disk magnets on their sides, so that the curved sides face each other. In the investigation I push one of the magnets with a constant force towards a stationary one...
Hello, I'm New and was wondering about magnetic hover boards. I have seen articles about using batteries to reverse the polarity of 50lb. lift magnets and allowing them to repel metal objects such as a piece sheet metal. I know it's possible to reverse the polarity but can it be done with simple...
When two permanent magnets (on the same plane) have the same poles facing each other they repel directly away from each other (Ex. horizontally). If you hold a magnet above another (North poles horizontally facing each other) and move it down vertically to the plane of the lower one, there also...
Is it possible that the magnetic field of the proton is strong enough to force the electron to stay away from the proton?
Do neutrons exert more magnetic force than protons?
