An electro magnet is formed by a current flowing trough a coil.
This induces a magnetic field around the coil.
To illistrate the kinetic energy I am going to compare
an object of mass (m) moving because of a force (F) in a direction (x)
with
an electric charge (q) moving trough a circuit with Capcitance (C)
and Inductance (L)
Speed (v) = rate of change in distance (rate that x changes with time)
Current (i) = rate of change in charge (rate that q changes with time)
Mass (M) is an indicater of the amount of potential of an object.
Inductance (L) is an indicater of the amount of potential of a coil
Kinetic energy for an object : E = 1/2 M*v*v
Kinetic energy for magnet (Magnetic Enrtgy) : E = 1/2 L*i*i
To compare :
Mass Inductance
Force : F = M*a
Position : x Charge : q
time : t time : t
Speed : v=rate x change pert Current : i=rate q change per t
Mass : M Inductance : L
Pential energy :
Mass : M
gravitational conastant : g
heigt : x
For object E=Mgx (a=g)
For Magnet E=1/2*(V/Z)*(V/Z)*L
where V = volts R=Resitance of the coil circuit.
