Does it matter what size of neodymium magnet is used for the project "Use Super-strong Magnets to Make a Simple Motor" ?

Hi Chrismslist,
The size and shape of the magnet will have an effect on the overall B field used in equation 1 of the experiment. Here's a list of calculation based on the shape and dimension of the magnet:

Good Luck and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!
