Magnetism & Electricity (2 magnets - Field)

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the output voltage for a coil in an axial generator with two opposing magnets, the effective magnetic field (Br) used in Faraday's Law depends on the specific geometry of the setup and the desired accuracy. The maximum magnetic field strength of the magnets is 13200 Gauss, but the actual effective Br will vary based on the arrangement and angles of the magnets. A pole model can be utilized to predict the magnetic field through the coil at different positions. Understanding these factors is crucial for accurate voltage output calculations. Accurate modeling is essential to achieve the desired electrical output.

I am trying to calculate the output voltage for 1 coil in an axial generator/altenator

I have 2 magnets with Br Max 13200 Gauss on opposing sides of the rotor (N-S facing), The coil is between them on stator. Using faradays equations what is the effective Br (Gauss/Tesla) that should be used.

Thanks

... should be used to achieve what aim?

Oh you mean, what approximate value should you use for B in Faraday's Law?
That will depend on the exact geometry of your setup - which determines the field characteristics - and the tolerances you want to work with (which determines how much hand-waving you get to use.)

You could, I guess, use a pole model for the magnets to predict the actual field through the loop at each angle?
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
