How can I find the potential energy and force between a steel sphere and a magnet?

I'm fine with certain simplifying assumptions being made, I currently only know high-school level physics (the simpler the better). Also, if anyone can explain the intuition behind formulae, I would ...

Follow-up on "Derivation of Lagrangian of electromagnetic field from Lorentz force"

I have a follow-up on this post. The way I understand it, if one generally has a velocity-dependent potential $U(q, \dot q, t)$, then we can derive/define a generalized force $$Q_k = \frac{d}{dt}\frac{...
