The internal flow and level fluctuation of liquid metal exposed to linear electromagnetic stirring are mainly induced by the electromagnetic force. As a result, it is necessary to estimate the electromagnetic force amplitude generated by electromagnetic stirrers. The Maxwell's equations were simplified on some reasonable assumption so as to estimate the electromagnetic force amplitude in this study. During the electromagnetic force analysis, the characters of the electromagnetic force in liquid metal exposed to a linear electromagnetic stirrer were determined at the same time.
