OHM´s Law and Magnetism

Ferro magnets, permanent magnets made from iron, copper, and cobalt, were first discovered by the ancient Greeks and Chinese, which they called lodestones and were turned into compasses by striking the “stones” against a steel tip. These compasses were then distributed to sea faring travelers such as C. Columbus and M. Polo, and around year 1600A.D. it was discovered by William Gilbert that the entire Earth harnessed a giant magnet from within by observing the compasses and how the north needle moved toward the upper axis.[11] With the advent of magnetism, the search continued to understand the mysterious force of magnetism that the objects were acted upon. Other terms began to form such as paramagnetism: which is the explanation of certain materials becoming attracted by the magnetic source, diamagnetism: which is certain materials repelling magnetic field lines, and electromagnetism: which is where conductive materials generate magnetic fields from an induced current. For most of the millennia classical magnetism was employed to explain most quantifiable phenomenon that occur throughout the world: such as the study of Earth’s magnetic field, lightning, aurora, electrical lines, electrical motors, and other simple magnetic applied devices or activities. Classical magnetism essentially relies on the Newtonian model; including Biot –Savart law (μ0/4π qvsinθ/(r^2)), Lorentz force (F = qE + qv x B), electric field (F = qE), Coulomb’s law (E = k(q1q2)/(r^2)), Ampere’s law ( ), Lenz’s law Emf= -N(∆Φ/∆t), Maxwell equations, etc., were all formulated by using electric and magnetic fields and seeing how they interacted with one another.[1,12] In 1819 Hans Oersted, similar to what Faraday did, discovered on a...

...colliders, transformers, mag trains, quantum research, and many other important fields/uses with magnetism and electrical current. If a room temperature superconductor was actually produced and able to be widespread, there would be almost zero energy loss in power lines, earthquake resistant buildings suspended by magnets, be able to create quantum computers more efficiently with better understanding in quasiparicle interactions, better MRI’s, NMR, IR, and mass spec machines, production of space elevator, the possibility of floating cars, longer, more efficient power lines, power storage collected from electrical storms, the ability to research laser capabilities better, and collectively saying that superconductors would open the window in so many fields that would not only better research but would also better the world in energy consumption, use, and distribution.
