  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    Magnets exert forces and torques on each other through the interaction of their magnetic fields.The forces of attraction and repulsion are a result of these interactions. The magnetic field of each magnet is due to microscopic currents of electrically charged electrons orbiting nuclei and the intrinsic magnetism of fundamental particles (such as electrons) that make up the mater

  3. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic materials and systems are able to attract or repel each other with a force dependent on the magnetic field and the area of the magnets. For example, the simplest example of lift would be a simple dipole magnet positioned in the magnetic fields of another dipole magnet, oriented with like poles facing each other, so that the force ...

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The magnetic pole model: two opposing poles, North (+) and South (−), separated by a distance d produce a H-field (lines). Historically, early physics textbooks would model the force and torques between two magnets as due to magnetic poles repelling or attracting each other in the same manner as the Coulomb force between electric charges. At ...

  5. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    If both charges have the same sign (like charges) then the product is positive and the direction of the force on is given by ^; the charges repel each other. If the charges have opposite signs then the product q 1 q 2 {\displaystyle q_{1}q_{2}} is negative and the direction of the force on q 1 {\displaystyle q_{1}} is − r ^ 12 {\textstyle ...

  6. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    In a case when the external magnetic field is non-uniform, there will be a force, proportional to the magnetic field gradient, acting on the magnetic moment itself. There are two expressions for the force acting on a magnetic dipole, depending on whether the model used for the dipole is a current loop or two monopoles (analogous to the electric ...

  7. Diamagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

    Diamagnetism is the property of materials that are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force. In contrast, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials are attracted by a magnetic field.

  8. Electrodynamic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_suspension

    The air-gap volume equals the cross-sectional area multiplied by the width of the air gap, so the width cancels out and we are left with a suspensive force of μ 0 H 2 /2 times air-gap cross-sectional area, which means that maximum bearable load varies as the square of the magnetic field density of the magnet, permanent or otherwise and varies ...

  9. Programmable magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_magnet

    Correlated magnets can be programmed to interact only with other magnetic structures that have been coded to respond. Correlated magnets can even be programmed to attract and repel at the same time. Compared to conventional magnets, the correlated magnet provides much stronger holding force to the target and stronger shear resistance.
