@experimentX calculating magnetic moment

OpenStudy (oneowone):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipole

OpenStudy (oneowone):

\[M = nm\] So \[m = \frac{ M }{ n }\]

OpenStudy (oneowone):

M = ? n = ? :S

****Details about the magnet:**** Dimensions: 13/16" dia. x 1/4" thick Tolerances: ±0.004" x ±0.004" Material: NdFeB, Grade N42 Plating/Coating: Ni-Cu-Ni (Nickel) Magnetization Direction: Axial (Poles on Flat Ends) Weight: 0.562 oz. (15.9 g) Pull Force, Case 1: 20.86 lbs Pull Force, Case 2: 41.54 lbs Surface Field: 3457 Gauss Max Operating Temp: 176ºF (80ºC) Brmax: 13,200 Gauss BHmax: 42 MGOe

OpenStudy (oneowone):

Out of all that information what should I use to figure out the magnetic moment?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

i suppose so.

OpenStudy (oneowone):

ok, how can I do that?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

the easiest one is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment#Magnetic_pole_definition

OpenStudy (oneowone):

which formula to use?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

I don't see exact formula to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment#Two_kinds_of_magnetic_sources

OpenStudy (oneowone):

So I have to figure out he magnetic moment of ONE atom the multiply it buy the number of atoms that exist?

OpenStudy (oneowone):

in the magnet?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

tha't s complicated

OpenStudy (experimentx):

there should be easier one.

OpenStudy (oneowone):

lol yea, but can you guess at least the moment will eventually be? \[10A.m ^{2}\] \[100A.m ^{2}\] \[1KA.m ^{2}\] \[1MA.m ^{2}\] :P? Im guessing it will be a low value, do you think it will be a high/low value?

OpenStudy (oneowone):

Im trying to at least, figure out how the moment will be, give me an example of a moment of an dipole please or something.

OpenStudy (oneowone):

I watched the view already before, \[\mu= md\] Now, I need to figure out the pole strength. And then calculate the separation between each pole.
