Hi, I need help. How can I redirect/bend magnetic fields such that it will go in one direction instead of all around. That is going in a straight path instead of into multiple directions.

Ped said:zapperz : that might not be comfortable..haha
Ped said:ZZ: Its not. But I don't think I could fit inside a long large solenoid anyway.
Ped said:thanks! Is there another way where I can do that? How about using an opposing magnetic field to redirect another magnetic field?
Ped said:neodevin : do you mean that using an infinite plane of current you could bend/rediriect magnetic fields?
setAI: sounds like it will take me years working on that..but thanks!
Ped said:berkeman: that would be great, thanks
Xezlec: thanks for the input. However, as I remember, the magnetic field lines of a solenoid does travel in a straight line going outward and then curving back going to the opposite pole. So it does not travel in a straight line but acts like a loop/ring clipped into the north pole and connecting to the south. In the solenoid the "rings" of the magnetic field lines would radiate outward with each end at each pole.
This being the case, is it then possible to "bend" the field lines at one end to magnify or increase the range of the field lines at the other end?
Correct me if I'm wrong please.

The bar would need coiling so we're back to the solenoid...
In order to create a magnetic field, you will need to have a magnetic material such as iron, nickel, or cobalt. These materials can be easily magnetized by placing them in a strong magnetic field or by passing an electric current through them. This will align the electrons within the material and create a magnetic field.
The strength of a magnetic field can be increased by using a stronger magnet or by increasing the number of turns in a coil of wire. Additionally, you can also increase the strength of a magnetic field by decreasing the distance between the magnetic source and the object you want to affect.
The direction of a magnetic field can be controlled by changing the orientation of the magnetic material or the direction of the electric current. In the case of an electromagnet, you can also reverse the direction of the current to change the direction of the magnetic field.
To shield a magnetic field, you can use materials with high magnetic permeability such as iron or mu-metal. These materials will redirect the magnetic field lines and reduce the strength of the field outside of the shielded area. You can also use multiple layers of shielding for stronger magnetic fields.
Yes, you can control the strength of a magnetic field without a physical object by using an electromagnet. By adjusting the amount of current flowing through the wire, you can control the strength of the magnetic field without the need for a physical magnet. This is commonly used in MRI machines and other medical equipment.
