  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    If the magnet is aligned with the magnetic field, corresponding to two magnets oriented in the same direction near the poles, then it will be drawn into the larger magnetic field. If it is oppositely aligned, such as the case of two magnets with like poles facing each other, then the magnet will be repelled from the region of higher magnetic field.

  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. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent magnetic field.

  7. Magnetic gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Gear

    As two opposing magnets approach each other, they repel; when placed on two rings, the magnets will act like teeth. As opposed to conventional hard contact backlash in a spur gear, where a gear may rotate freely until in contact with the next gear, the magnetic gear has a springy backlash.

  8. Halbach array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbach_array

    A Halbach array (German:) is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that augments the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is achieved by having a spatially rotating pattern of magnetisation.

  9. Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole

    In these equations ρ m is the magnetic charge density, j m is the magnetic current density, and q m is the magnetic charge of a test particle, all defined analogously to the related quantities of electric charge and current; v is the particle's velocity and c is the speed of light. For all other definitions and details, see Maxwell's equations.
