Can charged baryons flow induce magnetic field?

AI Thread Summary
Charged baryons can indeed induce a magnetic field, similar to how electron flow generates magnetic fields in conductors. The discussion highlights that while baryons involve mass transfer, their flow can still be considered an "electric" current, akin to ionic currents. It is confirmed that if heavy ions carry the same amperes as lighter ions, they will produce the same magnetic effects. The conversation emphasizes that both baryons and electrons, despite their mass differences, can generate magnetic fields under similar conditions. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applications in particle physics and electromagnetic theory.

We all think that electric current is the electrons flow without mass transfer in conductor, i.e. charged lepton flow.
But charged baryons flow can also deemed as "electric" current, e.g. ionic current.
My question is that charged baryons flow can induce magnetic field? Same amperes, then same B & H?
Of course, baryons flow is accompanied with mass transfer.

Yes.

Also, electrons have mass.

Sure. The LHC beam has a current of about half an ampere.

Proton is the lightest ion, a heavy ion with same charge may be +100X heavier than proton, if heavy ions beam same amperes, still same magnetic effect?

For the second time, yes. You understand this correctly.

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...
