AI Thread Summary

When direct current (DC) flows through a wire, it generates a magnetic field around it. The presence of external magnets can interact with this magnetic field, affecting the behavior of the current. The extent of this interaction is influenced by factors such as the type of wire and the magnitude of the current. Stronger currents and specific wire materials can enhance the interaction with nearby magnets. Understanding these principles is essential for applications in electromagnetism and electrical engineering.

When current (DC) passed through a wire it creates a magnetic field around it, right? But if you placed magnets around that wire would they interact with the electricity flowing through the wire? If so, to what extent?

Yes, it depends on the wire and the amount of electricity flowing through it!

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...
