AI Thread Summary

When two magnets are positioned on opposite sides of a table, moving one magnet causes the other to move due to the magnetic field interaction between them. This phenomenon can be explained by the principles of magnetism, particularly the concepts of magnetic force and field lines. The force exerted by one magnet on the other is governed by the inverse square law, which states that the force decreases with the square of the distance between them. Understanding these interactions involves applying formulas related to magnetic fields and forces, which can be found in resources like Wikipedia. Overall, the movement of one magnet affects the other due to their inherent magnetic properties and the forces they exert on each other.

When 2 magnets are on opposite sides of a table by moving one magnet the other moves also.

could someone explain the physics/formulas or relations that correspond to this.

Thanks

Have a look at Magnetism on Wikipedia. That should give you everything you need. If not, a simple google search will yield the answers.

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...
