Force between two identical magnets vs. IRON
MagBen, Thanks for your comment. I had no idea about magnet design for different purposes. I suppose it's like any engineering field - until one digs into it, one has no idea about the complexity of the field. For my particular application, I'm convinced I won't be able to use two magnets...- dbostic

Force between two identical magnets vs. IRON
All, You guys are great. Thanks for digging into this so quickly. In my original post (OP you guys call it?), my force N was indeed an unknown variable; we'll call it X from now on :-). I had no idea there was software to calculate these forces. Engineering is a big field, I guess. ;-)...- dbostic

Force between two identical magnets vs. IRON
Hello all. I have a basic question about magnetism. I know very little about magnetic fields. Let's say I have two identical (shape, size, field-strength) magnets. They are positioned to be attracted to each other (with some force N). If I replace one of the magnets with an...- dbostic
