I have a discussion on how guitar pickup work, pickup is a coil with thousands of turns and magnet poles in the middle of the coil under each strings. My idea is the magnet poles magnetize a short portion of the string and when the string vibrates, it create a varying magnetic field. When the field cross the cross section area of the coil, a voltage is induced in the coil according to Faraday's law of magnetic induction. My theory is there is no difference whether the coil has magnet or only air regarding to sensing the magnetic field from the string. The magnet and the coil do two separate function. The magnet magnetize the short section of the string, the coil produce EMF from the magnetic field from the string. So as long as the string is being magnetized the same way, the coil can be air or magnet and it work the same.
I want to find out what is the difference between induced EMF of a coil with core of different materials in the presence of external magnetic field. I know
[tex] EMF= -\frac {\partial \Phi}{\partial t} \;\hbox { where } \Phi = \int_S \vec B \cdot d \vec s[/tex]
From the equation, B is external magnetic field, the EMF is the rate of change in flux that pass through the cross section area of the coil.
Assume the coil has certain height and have many turns, what is the difference between the same coil with air core, a ferro magnetic material core and a magnetic core( core make of magnet).
