Solenoids are spring-shaped coils of wire commonly used in electromagnets. If you run an electric current through a solenoid, a magnetic field will be generated. The magnetic field can exert a force on charged particles that is proportional to its strength. To calculate the force from a solenoid's magnetic field, you can use this equation:
Force = charge x velocity of the charge x magnetic field strength
As you can see from the equation, to calculate force we first need to know the magnetic field strength, which is dependent on the characteristics of the solenoid. We can substitute these parameters into the force equation get:
Force = charge x velocity of the charge x (magnetic constant x number of turns in solenoid x current)
The calculation looks complicated, but really it's just multiplying a bunch of measurable variables together.
Write the equation for the force that a solenoidal electromagnet will exert on a passing charge:
Force = Q x V x (magnetic constant x N x I)
Q = charge of passing point charge V = velocity of point chart magnetic constant = 4 x pi x 10^-7 (reference 3) N = number of turns in solenoid I = current running through solenoid
