Suppose I have 2 electromagnets, simple coils 4cm in diameter, 6cm long, iron core, wrapped 1000x with a copper wire. Each electromagnet would be powered by two 9V batteries and the distance between them would be 6cm.
Does anyone know how much force the system could produce (heating and battery life aside)? I don't really care for a number, just an estimate - if it would be 0.1N, 1N or 10N.

Scroll down a mite.

This reeks of homework thread.
And then here

Then F = grad( m \cdot B ) and bubs yer oncle

Nah dude, I just care about the magnitude. I want to do a project which would only make sense if I could get at least 10N of force on this. You can't actually calculate a concrete number without a wire diameter and most likely a current.

Shit, thanks. Will try to work it out from that.

Depends on wire diameter and batteries, but 0.1N is the most reasonable guess of those 3.

This doesn't take into account the relative magnetic permeability though. Or am I just missing something? (I'm not in Engineering, nor any related profession).
>>1154261
Well fuck. Thanks. Kind of hoped it would be at least around 1N.

> The relative permeability of magnetic iron is around 200
Nigga dint even scroll
>>1154271
Yeah that, that's weird though, Google says permeability for iron (pure) should be 5000, not 200.

Almost forgot - just so you know this is not for a homework - I was thinking if it would be possible to build artificial muscle fibers using electromagnets in series like sarcomeres..

It's not that hard really
