AI Thread Summary
When a magnet moves inside a solenoid, it can induce an electromotive force (emf) due to the changing magnetic flux, even if the magnet is not centered. The right side of the solenoid will generate a current to oppose the north pole of the magnet, while the left side will induce a current to attract the south pole. The differing number of turns in the solenoid on either side of the magnet leads to a net induced emf. Faraday's law confirms that any change in magnetic flux linkage will result in induced emf. Thus, the presence of induced emf is indeed valid in this scenario.

I have heard that when a magnet is moving completely inside a solenoid, there will be no induced emf. Is that true ? Personally, I think even the magnet is moving inside a solenoid with speed v, there will still be induced emf.

Assume a magnet is moving inside a solenoid from left to right. Right side is north pole and left is south. When it's moving in the solenoid, there will be current induced in the right side to oppose the north pole of the magnet. As for the left side, an opposite-direction current will be induced to attract the south pole. In this case, since the no. of turns of coil is different between the right side and left side from the magnet (assume the magnet is not in the middle), the will be net emf induced. Am I right ? Thx~
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Faradays law of electromagnetic induction states that WHENEVER a conductor experiences a changing magnetic flux linkage an emf will be induced...so yes...you are on the right track.
It is always wise in this area of physics to start, and concentrate on induced EMF...you may not get an induced current !

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...
