Homework Statement
I just have a question about finding the force between a solenoid and a magnet at different distances. I have tried using a combination of B=μnI and F=BIL, however the answers I am getting are extremely off from the values that I have measured. Is this equation wrong and if so is there one that achieves what I want?
Relevant Equations
$$B=\mu nI $$
$$F=\frac{BIL}{2 \pi r}$$
$$F=\frac{μn I^{2} L}{ 2 \pi r}$$
$$\mu = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$$
$$n = \frac{180}{0.135} = 1333.33$$
$$I = 1.85$$
$$L = 22.619$$
$$r = 0.014$$

$$F= \frac{\mu \times 1333.33 \times 1.85^{2} \times 22.619}{2 \pi \times 0.014}$$

Please describe the set up in detail and provide units with the numbers.
 
Where did you get the second equation? What force is described by it?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
