Analysis and numerical simulation of magnetic forces between rigid polygonal bodies Abstract: We discuss magnetic force formulae for rigid magnetized bodies. To derive such formulae for bodies in contact, we work on the one hand in the context of macroscopic electrodynamics, on the other hand we start with a discrete setting of magnetic dipole moments and derive the continuum limit. After I will have delivered an insight into the mathematical proofs, I will present some numerical experiments. These study the dependence of the magnetic force on the distance between magnetic bodies and allow to compare the force formulae for bodies being in contact quantitatively. Finally, I will discuss the results from a physical point-of-view.
