  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. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other.Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism.

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    Additional magnetic field values can be found through the magnetic field of a finite beam, for example, that the magnetic field of an arc of angle and radius at the center is =, or that the magnetic field at the center of a N-sided regular polygon of side is = ⁡ ⁡, both outside of the plane with proper directions as inferred by right hand ...

  5. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet's magnetic moment (also called magnetic dipole moment and usually denoted μ) is a vector that characterizes the magnet's overall magnetic properties. For a bar magnet, the direction of the magnetic moment points from the magnet's south pole to its north pole, [ 15 ] and the magnitude relates to how strong and how far apart these poles ...

  6. Catapult effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catapult_effect

    In electromagnetics, the catapult description of magnetic forces refers to when a current is passed through a loose wire in a magnetic field. The loose wire is then catapulted horizontally away from the magnetic field. This occurs due to the Lorentz force acting on the electric current in the wire due to the magnetic field. [1]

  7. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    A contact force is any force that occurs because of two objects making contact with each other. [1] Contact forces are very common and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car or kicking a ball are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work.

  9. Quadrupole magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrupole_magnet

    Quadrupole magnets are useful as they create a magnetic field whose magnitude grows rapidly with the radial distance from its longitudinal axis. This is used in particle beam focusing. The simplest magnetic quadrupole is two identical bar magnets parallel to each other such that the north pole of one is next to the south of the other and vice ...
