Collapse Diamagnetism Field Field strength Strength

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the behavior of diamagnetism under varying external magnetic field strengths. It questions whether the diamagnetic effect can collapse at high field strengths, specifically addressing what "it" refers to in this context. Participants clarify that a plasma remains diamagnetic regardless of the applied field strength, as electrons and ions continue to orbit the magnetic field, effectively reducing the overall magnetic field. The conversation invites further specificity on the topic to deepen the understanding of diamagnetic behavior. Overall, the resilience of diamagnetism in strong magnetic fields is emphasized.

What is "it?" The magnetic field? A plasma is diamagnetic and however strong you make the applied field the electrons (and ions) will continue to orbit magnetic field and still reduce the overall magnetic field. Did you have something specific in mind?

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
