How can you make the potential energy as high as possible in a magnetic field between one electromagnet and one piece of iron?

harkovskaia [24]

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

In step 2, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

<h3>Potential energy of a system of magnetic dipole</h3>

The potential energy of a system of dipole depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field.

$U = \mu B$

where;

$\mu$ is the dipole moment
B is the magnetic field

$B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

$U = \mu\times (\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r} )$

Increase in the distance (r) reduces the potential energy. Thus, we can conclude the following;

In step 1, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.
In step 2, when the iron is rotated 180, it will still maintain the original position, to increase the potential energy, the iron will move towards the electromagnet.

Michael Jordan, el célebre basquetbolista, ganó el torneo de clavadas de la NBA en 1988. Para lograr la hazaña saltó 1.35 metros

kozerog [31]

(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s$

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

$v=u+gt$

Solving for t,

$t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s$

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

$v'^2-u^2=2gh'$

we find

$v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s$

And the corresponding time is

$t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s$

So the time to go from h' to h is

$\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s$

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

$\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s$
