| + ! Approximation of Forces (taken from OI Magnet Manual) |
| + |
| + As a rough guideline the following estimation can be made. |
| + For iron placed in a gradient of 500 G/m the force due to the field is equal to the mass of the object. |
| + For larger field gradients: Force = 10 * mass * gradB / 500 with Force, mass and gradB in (N, kg, Gauss/m). |
