How do you calculate the Magnetic Moment of a Permanent Magnet?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the magnetic moment of a permanent AlNiCo magnet, one must convert available data from Tesla or Vs*cm to Am^2. The magnetic moment can be derived by considering the relationship between magnetic field strength and the magnet's volume. Using the formula T/(V*s*m) may provide an approximation, but it requires multiplying by the magnet's volume for accuracy. Additionally, understanding the constants involved, such as magnetic permeability (μ₀ or μ₀μᵣ), is crucial for proper conversion. Accurate calculations will help in identifying magnets that meet the desired magnetic moment specifications.

Hey!

I am trying to find a permanent AlNiCo magnet with a magnetic moment of 0.06Am^2.

However, most magnet data sheets do not list the magnetic moment of their magnet. Often they list the Magnetic field in Tesla or the moment in Vs*cm. How can I convert this data into the magnetic moment in Am^2.

Thanks!

V*s*m/(A*m^2) has the unit of magnetic permeability, so I think that you have to divide by this value (\mu_0 or \mu_0\mu_r, I would expect the former). cm<->m is just a factor of 100.

T/(V*s*m) is an inverse volume - maybe you can get some approximation of you multiply the value with the volume of the magnet (up to constant factors?)
 
Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
