Dynamical Interactions Between Two Uniformly Magnetized Spheres
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies of the two-dimensional motion of a magnet sphere in the presence of a second, fixed sphere provide a convenient venue for exploring magnet–magnet interactions, inertia, friction, and rich nonlinear dynamical behavior. These studies exploit the equivalence of these magnetic interactions to the interactions between two equivalent point dipoles. We show that magnet–magnet friction plays a role when magnet spheres are in contact, table friction plays a role at large sphere separations, and eddy currents are always negligible. Webbased simulation and visualization software, called MagPhyx, is provided for education, exploration, and discovery.

Theory of collective spin-wave modes of interacting ferromagnetic spheres
We formulate the theory of the collective spin wave modes of arrays of spherical particles of ferromagnetic material, under the assumption that each sphere in the array is magnetized uniformly. In addition, the intersphere interactions have their origin in the magnetic fields generated by the precessing moments, appropriate to the case where there is no direct physical contact between the spher...
متن کاملForces on Halves of a Uniformly Magnetized Sphere
Show that the force between hemispheres in the left figure is the same as that between one such hemisphere and either a perfectly conducting plate, or a plate of infinite magnetic permeability. This problem was inspired by e-discussions with J. Castro Paredes. The force between two rectangular-prism permanent magnets has been deduced in [1]. For cylindrical magnets, see [2, 3], and for spheres,...
متن کاملDiffusion of spheres in crowded suspensions of rods.
Translational tracer diffusion of spherical macromolecules in crowded suspensions of rodlike colloids is investigated. Experiments are done using several kinds of spherical tracers in fd-virus suspensions. A wide range of size ratios L/2a of the length L of the rods and the diameter 2a of the tracer sphere is covered by combining several experimental methods: fluorescence correlation spectrosco...
متن کاملHow to Simulate Billiards and Similar Systems
An N -component continuous-time dynamic system is considered whose components evolve autonomously all the time except for in discrete asynchronous instances of pairwise interactions. Examples include chaotically colliding billiard balls and combat models. A new efficient serial event-driven algorithm is described for simulating such systems. Rather than maintaining and updating the global state...
متن کاملTorque in Permanent Magnet Couplings : Comparison of Uniform and Radial Magnetization
1 We present a three-dimensional study of the torque transmitted between tile permanent magnets 2 uniformly magnetized. All this study is based on the Coulombian model. The torque is calculated semi3 analytically by considering all the surface densities that appear on the tiles. In addition, no simplifying 4 assumptions are done in the expressions given in this paper. Consequently, the evaluati...
