magnetic saturation
✓ ~~> The point where an increase in magnetic force produces no
further magnetic effect in a magnetic material. .
magnetic saturation depends on:
✓ ~~> -material
-size and shape
-temperature
Most ferromagnetic items are going to saturate at:
✓ ~~> 0.3T - 2.2T
Torque
✓ ~~> force exerted on elongated ferromagnetic object so it aligns with
the direction of the magnetic field
Torque will cause an item to align in the _____________ axis in a horizontal field
magnet.
✓ ~~> z

Torque will cause an item to align in the _____________ axis in a vertical field
magnet.
✓ ~~> y
Torque is dependent on:
✓ ~~> -length (longer=greater)
-shape (elongated>sperical)
-texture (soft/flexible<hard)(leads/wires<plate)
-location in magnet (greatest at isocenter)
Torque is greatest at
✓ ~~> isocenter
Translational / Displacement (missile effect)
✓ ~~> attractive force on a ferromagnetic object in a spatial gradient
magnetic field
Translational force increases when
✓ ~~> the field change over distance increases (dB/dx)
Spatial gradient magnetic fields are expressed in
