I recently realised that didn't know the formula for the effect of one magnetic field on another magnetic field source. I now imagine that this is not the simple concept I originally believed it to be. Really what I'm looking at to start with is a formula for say, the force that a solenoid of field B1 exerts on another solenoid of field B2 with a radius of separation of R in a one-dimensional system. Initially, I expected something along the lines of the law of universal gravitation, but I still haven't been able to find confirmation of this, and furthermore, I found two conflicting sources, one claiming that the relationship is inverse square, and the other that it is inverse fourth. Anyway, I was hoping that someone on this list might have some idea what the relationship is for the one dimensional case. I am, of course, interested in the two and three dimensional cases, but those I expect to be far more complex. --Brendan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
