    Bound Current
AI Thread Summary
Total bound current can be non-zero in a system with permanent magnetization, such as a cylindrical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b. The magnetization, represented as \vec{M}=(ks)\hat{z}, leads to a surface current that circulates around the cylinder. This occurs when the magnetization aligns with the cylinder's long axis, resulting in a defined current density. The discussion highlights the relationship between magnetization and bound current, emphasizing that the configuration can indeed yield a non-zero total bound current. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for applications in magnetic materials and devices.

I have a permanent magnetization \vec{M}=(ks)\hat{z}, k is just a const, s is the cylindrical coor. Then it turns out that the total bound current not equal to 0. i wonder is it possible? the magnetization is stored inside the shell of a cylinder of inner radius a and outer radius b.
thanks in advance!

What do you mean by total current? If the magnetization points in the direction of long axis of the cylinder, there is a surface current circling around the cylinder.
 
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...
