Determining magnetic force at a distance
Determining magnetic force at a distance
(OP)
Can someone point me in the direction of an equation to determine magnetic force at a given distance? I'm trying to determine what percentage of magnetic attraction or repulsion remains at a separating distance of 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, etc... Thank you.

too much depends on the geometry of the magnetic setup, so no general rules can be provided.
For a horseshoe arrangement with a PM (or a coil), you can express the force exerted on the closing iron as a function of the gap, though it is known that, for gaps sufficiently large to be interested in, the actual force may be smaller than the theoretical one by a factor of 2 or more.
Come back if this is what you are looking for.
