The aim of the work was to design and construct a microscopic stage that enables the observation of biological cells in a magnetic field with a constant magnetic force. Regarding the requirements for biological observations in the magnetic field, construction was based on the standard automatic stage of an optical microscope ZEISS Axio Observer, and the main challenge was to design a set of magnets which were the source of a field in which the magnetic force was constant in the observation zone. Another challenge was to design a magnet arrangement producing a weak magnetic field to manipulate the cells without harming them. The Halbach array of magnets was constructed using permanent cubic neodymium magnets mounted on a 3D printed polymer ring. Four sets of magnets were used, differing in their dimensions, namely, 20, 15, 12, and 10 mm. The polymer rings were designed to resist magnetic forces and to keep their shape undisturbed when working under biological conditions. To check the usability of the constructs, experiments with magnetic microparticles were executed. Magnetic microparticles were placed under the microscope and their movement was observed to find the acting magnetic force.

AbstractFilamentary molecular clouds are thought to fragment to form clumps and cores. However, the fragmentation may be suppressed by magnetic force if the magnetic fields run perpendicularly to the cloud axis. We evaluate the effect using a simple model. Our model cloud is assumed to have a Plummer like radial density distribution, $\rho = {\rho _{\rm{c}}}{\left[ {1 + {r^2}/(2p{H^2})} \right]^{2p}}$ , where r and H denote the radial distance from the cloud axis and the scale length, respectively. The symbols, ρc and p denote the density on the axis and radial density index, respectively. The initial magnetic field is assumed to be uniform and perpendicular to the cloud axis. The model cloud is assumed to be supported against the self gravity by gas pressure and turbulence. We have obtained the growth rate of the fragmentation instability as a function of the wavelength, according to the method of Hanawa, Kudoh & Tomisaka (2017). The instability depends crucially on the outer boundary. If the displacement vanishes in regions very far from the cloud axis, cloud fragmentation is suppressed by a moderate magnetic field. If the displacement is constant along the magnetic field in regions very far from the cloud, the cloud is unstable even when the magnetic field is infinitely strong. The wavelength of the most unstable mode is longer for smaller index, p.


1. When the motion of ions in a gas takes place in a magnetic field the rates of diffusion and the velocities due to an electric force may be determined by methods similar to those given in a previous paper. The effect of the magnetic field may be determined by considering the motion of each ion between collisions with molecules. The magnetic force causes the ions to be deflected in their free paths, and when no electric force is acting the paths are spirals, the axes being along the direction of the magnetic force. If H be the intensity of the magnetic field, e the charge, and m the mass of an ion, then the radius r of the spiral is mv /He, v being the velocity in the direction perpendicular to H. The distance that the ion travels in the interval between two collisions in a direction normal to the magnetic force is a chord of the circle of radius r . The average lengths of these chords may be reduced to any fraction of the projection of the mean free path in the direction of the magnetic force, so that the rate of diffusion of ions in the directions perpendicular to the magnetic force is less than the rate of diffusion in the direction of the force.

This new dry magnetic separator has a special structure. It has many magnetic roll which are staggered like a stairsteps. It can finish the task of separating different minerals with only this one machine. And also it can make the different magnetic material which are in the same mineral separate at the same time. The permanent magnet system is made of large fan-shaped magnet. The magnet pole N and S are staggered and has perfect performance of magnetic separation. And the magnetic force is made full use by going-up dynamic separation. And also it gives an analysis of stress in the magnetic field. It also shows that its separation idex is better, the economic benefits are obvious, and it has broader prospects of popularization and application.

In this work, a method to measuring the magnitude of a uniform magnetic field in space using current balance was described. A simple experimental set was designed and constructed using low-cost materials. This constructed current balance consists of copper sheet, weight pan, and acrylic sheet. A copper sheet was cut into a U-shape and attached at the end of acrylic balance arm. A weight pan was hanged in the opposite side of the balance arm with high sensitivity to a small torque. The horizontal segment of the U-shaped copper sheet, which the length l was 3 cm, was located inside the influence of an uniform magnetic field produced by two parallel bar magnets with opposite poles facing each other. The magnetic field direction was perpendicular to the horizontal segment. When a current was supplied to the copper sheet, the magnetic force acting on a horizontal segment of length l carrying a current I in a magnetic field B was given by. In the experiment, the current was varied from 0 1 A. For each value of applied current, the magnetic force on a thin straight sheet of length l was measured by adding masses to the pan until the balance arm moved to the equilibrium between opposing gravitational and magnetic forces. The results showed that the magnetic force increased linearly with increasing applied current. By plotting a linear graph of magnetic force versus applied current, the magnetic field B can be calculated from . The calculated and actual values of B were 100.32 and 100.13 mT, respectively. This constructed current balance is an excellent tool for high school and undergraduate fundamental physics courses. Students will be excited when they see the balance arm rising or going down due to magnitude and direction of current flowing in a conductor wire.

The calculation model of the single turn rectangle current carrying coil was established. The theoretic formula for calculating the magnetic field intensity of any point in space was derived. For a pair of radial magnetizing permanent magnets, the formula for calculating the magnetic force of permanent magnet in the magnetic field was deduced based on the equivalent current theory of permanent magnet. According to the formula, the influencing factors and the changing rules for the magnetic force of permanent magnet can be seen directly: the current, the coil turns are proportional to its magnetic force, while the coupling distance is inversely proportional to its magnetic force.


1. Modern electrical theory based on Maxwell’s concept of an æthereal displacement current, is generally regarded as being sufficiently complete in itself to cover all actions so far revealed to us, if we exclude those intra-atomic phenomena which probably involve some additional but not necessarily inconsistent action in their working. There, still, however exists a good deal of uncertainty as to the actual results of the development of this theory in certain directions, and no account has yet been taken of the great degree of latitude allowed by it in its simplest and most general form. For example, in most presentations of the theory of energy streaming in the electromagnetic field the discussion is given in a way which might lead one to believe that Poynting’s form of the theory is the only one conceivable. A single alternative has on one occasiont been suggested, but rather as an improvement on Poynting’s form than as an indication of its uncertainty. Whilst it cannot be denied that Poynting’s theory is probably the most appropriate one yet formulated, yet it must be recognised that there are an infinite number of fundamentally different forms each of which is itself perfectly consistent with Maxwell’s theory as expressed in his differential equations of electromagnetic interaction. Again, but now we are on a different plane, it has usually been stated that Maxwell’s theory is not of sufficient generality to cover the cases where there exists the complication of non-linear induction in ferromagnetic media. This view appears to have originated with the idea that the magnetic force is the fundamental æthereal vector of the magnetic field, whereas, as a matter of fact, the only consistent view of the energy relations of such a field leads to the conclusion that the magnetic induction is the true æthereal vector, the magnetic force being an auxiliary vector derived in the process of averaging the minute current whirls into their effective representation as a distribution of magnetic polarity.
