The Solenoid Force Calculator is a specialized tool designed to calculate the force exerted by a solenoid based on its physical properties and the electrical current passing through it. This calculator helps users understand the operational capabilities of solenoids in their applications, aiding in the selection and design of solenoid-based systems. By inputting specific parameters such as the solenoid’s dimensions, the number of turns, the current, and the magnetic field strength, users can quickly determine the force a solenoid will produce.
Formula of Solenoid Force Calculator
The calculator uses two main formulas to determine the force exerted by a solenoid:
Force based on Magnetic Field:
F = (B × I × L) / (2 × μ₀)
- F is the force in Newtons (N)
- B is the magnetic field strength in Teslas (T)
- I is the current flowing through the solenoid in Amps (A)
- L is the length of the solenoid in meters (m)
- μ₀ is the permeability of free space (4π × 10^-7 Tm/A)
Force based on Geometry:
F = (μ₀ * N² * I² * A) / (2 * (g²))
- F is the force in Newtons (N)
- μ₀ is the permeability of free space (4π × 10^-7 Tm/A)
- N is the number of turns in the solenoid
- I is the current flowing through the solenoid in Amps (A)
- A is the cross-sectional area of the plunger or core in square meters (m²)
- g is the air gap between the plunger and the solenoid in meters (m)

| Air Gap | g | The distance between the solenoid and the movable core or plunger | Meters (m) |
This table provides essential terms and definitions that are commonly encountered when using a Solenoid Force Calculator. Understanding these terms helps users effectively input the correct values into the calculator and interpret the results accurately.
Example of Solenoid Force Calculator
Consider a solenoid with a length of 0.1m, a magnetic field strength of 0.01T, and a current of 5A flowing through it. Using the formula based on magnetic field, the force exerted by the solenoid can be calculated as follows:
F = (0.01 × 5 × 0.1) / (2 × 4π × 10^-7) F ≈ 397.887 N
This example illustrates how to use the formula to calculate the force exerted by a solenoid, providing a practical application of the calculator.
Most Common FAQs
Use the magnetic field-based formula for more accurate results when you know the magnetic field strength. Use the geometry-based formula for a simpler approximation, especially useful when dealing with a plunger or movable core.
Several factors influence the force, including the solenoid’s current, the number of turns, the air gap, and the cross-sectional area of the plunger or core.
Yes, the calculator is designed to be versatile, suitable for different types of solenoids, whether they are air-core or have a ferromagnetic core.
Cómo se mide la velocidad a la que se desplaza el nucleo ferromagnético de un solenoide de empuje lineal que trabaja a 12 V (DC) con un amperje de 8 A ?
Gracias por tu pregunta. La velocidad del núcleo en un solenoide se relaciona con la fuerza electromagnética y las propiedades mecánicas, no solo con los 12 V y 8 A. La fuerza se calcula con:
F = (N * I)^2 * μ0 * A / (2 * g^2)
F es la fuerza, N el número de vueltas, II la corriente, μ0 la permeabilidad del vacío, A el área transversal, y g la brecha. Con F y la masa del núcleo (m), se estima la aceleración (a) y luego la velocidad (v). Factores como la saturación magnética y pérdidas energéticas también afectan.
