Answer:
The central blue square in between the lower pair of magnet has the least force of repulsion.
Explanation:
We can explain this using the dual nature of magnets.
Each magnet must have two poles namely:
-North pole
-South pole
We assume that the magnetic lines of forces enters from south pole and leaves from the north pole.
When brought together, like poles repel each other while opposite poles attract each other.
In the picture, the lower two magnets have opposite poles facing each other, hence the force of repulsion is minimum there and the force of attraction is maximum.
Using Ampere's Law, the magnetic field produced inside this solenoid is given by
B = uo N I / h
where uo is the vacuum permeability, N is the number of turns in the solenoid and h is the length of the solenoid. Earth's magnetic field is around 50 microteslas in North America thus the current needed in the solenoid is
I = B h / (uo N) = (50 E-6 ) (4) / ((4 pi E-7)(6000) ) = 0.026 A
I = 26 mA
So you need a current of around 26 mA.
