Is any physical explanation of this effect?

Yes, A rotating magnet creates an AC magnetic field. That induces currents within the conductive surface which, by Lentz law, oppose the changes in the magnetic field, ergo, create a repelling force.
This principle has been applied to Maglev trains.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...

Thread 'Electrons in LC circuit'

Hello. My question is: When a capacitor in LC circuit is out of charge (T/4) does that mean that all electrons left the capacitor or that there is the same quantity of electrons on both plates?
