I have a question about Magnets
« on: December 19, 2006, 11:00:35 pm »
I have been looking into this for a week or two, and I have yet to find anything. I figured the best area to post it would be here.

Well, here's my question:

This website: http://unitednuclear.com/magnets.htm sells magnets all rated at "grade N40 or higher." That is the grade of the Neodymium in the magnets. I was wondering if any one knows if the scale that they are graded on is Logarithmic or if it's linear.

"The accelerator adds a fixed amount of energy in
each stage. Thus it is linear in energy. "

According to this thread linear. It seems to be the strength rating of the "neodymium" in the magnet.

That's not the question, but I've been there before. Thy are just talking about that gaus rifle, that is a linear ammount of attration versus the resistance from friction and the other magnet. I was asking about the n40, and if the scale beween n1 and n45 is linear or not.
