Thanks for the help! I must have slept through that day in physics...
Here's another site I found that was helpful if anyone else is interested:

I know that electricity running through a circuit produces a magnetic field...does this work the other way around? Does a permanent magnet in a circuit produce electricity? A colleague of mine is trying to convince me that moving a magnet back and forth in the presence of a circuit can produce...
In regards to superposition, I haven't found a good equation for the force from a magnet at a distance. I've found one for the force from a magnet on steel at a distance. However, the magnets I'm trying to use are not composed of steel.
How do you calculate the attraction and repulsion forces between two magnets? I know it depends on many factors, so for example: two 0.5"x0.5"x0.25" Neodynium magnets with a grade of 42 (Br = 13200 Gauss) that are 0.25" apart from each other (only air is separating them).
Thanks for any help...
