Electromagnetic Junkyard Cranes
This page seeks to explain the principle behind simple electromagnetic cranes. Electromagnetic cranes utilize Ampere's Law in order to lift certain ferromagnetic objects.
The Main Idea
Electromagnetic cranes utilize Ampere's Law in order to lift ferromagnetic objects. Ferromagnetic objects have unpaired electrons that align themselves with the magnetic field that they are exposed to which causes. The magnetic field, in turn, applies a force to the ferromagnetic objects. Electromagnetic cranes take advantage of this phenomenon by utilizing Ampere's law in order to create the magnetic field that exerts an attractive force on the ferromagnetic objects.
A Mathematical Model
The main laws that an electromagnetic crane utilizes are Ampere's Law and For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
