Abstract

This paper presents a new general formula for calculating the magnetic force between inclined circular loops placed in any desired position. This formula has been derived from the Lorentz force equation. All mathematical procedures are completely described to define the coil positions that lead to a relatively easy method for calculating the magnetic force between inclined circular loops in any desired position. The presented method is easy to understand, numerically suitable and easily applicable for engineers and physicists. The obtained formula is given in its simplest form from the already existing formulas for calculating the magnetic force between inclined circular loops. We validated the new formula through a series of examples, which are presented here.
