Forces Between Two Magnetic Dipoles
See also: Force between magnets#Magnetic dipole-dipole interactionThe force F exerted by one dipole moment m1 on another m2 separated in space by a vector r can be calculated using
or
where r is the distance between dipoles. The force acting on m1 is in the opposite direction.
The torque can be obtained from the formula
