I Electret with circular electric field

Click For Summary
An electret can theoretically be designed to maintain a permanent circular electric field, potentially formed in a slab with the field looping within its plane. This would require rapid formation around a decreasing magnetic flux, presenting challenges in its implementation. The discussion raises the possibility of such electrets exhibiting magnetic-like behavior, potentially attracting or repelling objects. Additionally, the use of the piezoelectric effect is questioned, suggesting it may not be the preferred method for creating these circular electric fields. Overall, the feasibility of creating electrets with circular electric fields remains an intriguing topic for further exploration.

[ Given that an "electret" can be made, that retains a persistent electric field, most often as a flat slab with a perpendicular field ]
Can an electret be made with a permanent circular electric field ? Eg in a slab with the field forming a loop in the plane of the slab ? It would have to be formed quickly around a decreasing magnetic flux as it decreased I guess, kind of difficult but not impossible .
Bonus question :) Would such electrets act as "magnets" ie attract and repel ?

Why don’t you use Piezoelectric effect?
 

Thread 'Please Explain Elementary Physics Elevator Question'

Hello, I'm joining this forum to ask two questions which have nagged me for some time. I am in no way trolling. They both are presumed obvious, yet don't make sense to me. Nobody will explain their positions, which is...uh...aka science. I also have a thread for the other question. Yes, I'm questioning the most elementary physics question we're given in this world. The classic elevator in motion question: A person is standing on a scale in an elevator that is in constant motion...
