Tesla to Newton Formula:
| From: | To: |
The Tesla to Newton conversion calculates the electromagnetic force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. This fundamental physics principle is described by the formula F = B × I × L, where F is force in Newtons, B is magnetic flux density in Tesla, I is current in Amperes, and L is length in meters.
The calculator uses the electromagnetic force formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the force exerted on a straight current-carrying wire placed perpendicular to a magnetic field. The force is maximum when the current and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.
Details: Accurate force calculation is crucial for designing electromagnetic devices such as motors, generators, transformers, and various electromechanical systems. It helps engineers determine the mechanical forces involved in electromagnetic applications.
Tips: Enter magnetic flux density in Tesla, current in Amperes, and length in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero for valid calculations.
Q1: What is the relationship between Tesla and Newton?
A: Tesla measures magnetic flux density, while Newton measures force. The formula F = B × I × L connects these units by calculating the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
Q2: When is this formula applicable?
A: This formula applies to straight conductors carrying current in a uniform magnetic field, with the conductor perpendicular to the magnetic field direction.
Q3: What if the conductor is not perpendicular to the field?
A: If the angle between the conductor and magnetic field is θ, the formula becomes F = B × I × L × sinθ, where θ is the angle between them.
Q4: What are typical values for these parameters?
A: Typical values vary widely: B from microteslas to several teslas, I from milliamperes to thousands of amperes, and L from millimeters to meters depending on the application.
Q5: What practical applications use this calculation?
A: Electric motors, loudspeakers, galvanometers, MRI machines, particle accelerators, and various electromagnetic measurement devices use this fundamental principle.
