    Solenoid Force Calculation Questions

    Thanks LiteYear The solenoid is basically a simple coil of wire wrapped around a plastic bobbin with a round steel cylinder that gets pulled up inside the hollow bobbin when the coil is energized. Would the area (A) be across the cylinder diameter (pi*r^2) or (diameter * length)? I don't...

    Question on Solenoid Force Calculation

    I am trying to calculate the force a solenoid will develop using the following equation: F = (N*I)2 μ0 A / (2 g2) Where: μ0 = 4π×10-7 F is the force in Newtons N is the number of turns I is the current in Amps A is the area in length units squared g is the length of the gap between the...
