Role of air in diamagnetism and force between parallel and antiparallel currents

[[email protected]]

Hi all,

1. We know that diamagnets are repelled from dense
magnetostatic fields. In an investigation I need to
know whether this repulsion will increase or decrease
or remain unchanged when the experiment is performed
in vacuum or inside a gas which its molecules have
no magnetic dipoles.

2. Also we know that two parallel wires carrying parallel
electric currents attract each other and if they carry
antiparallel currents they repel each other. The
above-mentioned investigation necessitates knowing whether
this attraction or repulsion will increase or decrease or
remain unchanged when the experiment is performed in vacuum
or in a gas which its molecules lack magnetic dipoles.

Since performance of the above-mentioned experiments is not
possible for me at present, I request anyone who has any
information in this respect or has the possibility to perform
these experiments to express the results of these experiments
in this thread or email them to my address:
hamidvansari<at>yahoo<dot>com or hvansari<at>gmail<dot>com
or let me know the sources from which I can get information
in this respect.

Best regards
Hamid V. Ansari

I don't think you are going to get much on this anywhere. My take on it
is this, no difference. Magnetism and electricity are not matter.
Period.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your question, perhaps it is time for an
experiment. I don't think any gas affects magnetism significantly, but
then your purposes might be more esoteric. A solid or liquid might
affect magnetism, yes, but energy is not created nor destroyed, so if a
gas could have an effect it would probably be attracted to the source
of the magnetism.
