  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. 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 ...

  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. Dipole magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_magnet

    Magnetic field of a simple bar magnet. A dipole magnet is the simplest type of magnet. It has two poles, one north and one south. Its magnetic field lines form simple closed loops which emerge from the north pole, re-enter at the south pole, then pass through the body of the magnet. The simplest example of a dipole magnet is a bar magnet. [1]

  6. Ampère's force law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_force_law

    The top wire carries a current I 2 through the magnetic field B 1, so (by the Lorentz force) the wire experiences a force F 12. (Not shown is the simultaneous process where the top wire makes a magnetic field which results in a force on the bottom wire.) In magnetostatics, the force of attraction or repulsion between two current-carrying wires ...

  7. Magnetic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_circuit

    Magnetic field (green) induced by a current-carrying wire winding (red) in a magnetic circuit consisting of an iron core C forming a closed loop with two air gaps G in it. In an analogy to an electric circuit, the winding acts analogously to an electric battery, providing the magnetizing field , the core pieces act like wires, and the gaps G act like resistors.

  8. Magnetic dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipole

    An electrostatic analogue for a magnetic moment: two opposing charges separated by a finite distance. Each arrow represents the direction of the field vector at that point. The magnetic field of a current loop. The ring represents the current loop, which goes into the page at the x and comes out at the dot.

  9. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    (A permanent electric dipole is called an electret.) A magnetic dipole is the closed circulation of an electric current system. A simple example is a single loop of wire with constant current through it. A bar magnet is an example of a magnet with a permanent magnetic dipole moment. [4] [5]
