Calculating Magnetic Energy in Permanent Magnets

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the magnetic energy stored in a permanent magnet involves integrating the magnetic field strength over the entire volume of the magnet. While practical examples can be complex due to the need for precise measurements of field strength, rough estimates can be made with coarse measurements. Manufacturers typically rely on established design calculations to ensure the magnetic field's strength and direction are correct, rather than focusing on exact energy values. The distinction between 1 J or 2 J of energy in the magnetic field is often negligible in practical applications. Understanding these principles is essential for effectively working with permanent magnets.

Hi folk
Is there a method to calculate the magnetic energy stored in a permanent magnet ?
Thanks for help

Thanks for your reply.
Can you illustrate with some practical example on a piece of permanent magnet..
 
It is not really practical. You have to measure the field strength everywhere, then plug that into the volume integral.
To get an order of magnitude estimate, these measurements can be very coarse.
 
Sure the permanent magnet' manufacturers follow specific practical design mathematical calculations / equations. .
 
It doesn't really matter for them. The magnetic field strength and direction have to be right. Who cares if there is 1 J or 2 J energy in the magnetic field?
 
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...
