Magnet through a copper coil - What if poles rotated 90 degress

AI Thread Summary
Rotating the poles of a magnet 90 degrees in a copper coil experiment alters the orientation of magnetic flux. In an ideal scenario with a perfect coil, this configuration would result in no induced voltage or current due to symmetry. However, real-world imperfections in the coil and magnet will lead to some induction, albeit minimal. The discussion emphasizes that practical factors will influence the outcome despite the theoretical symmetry. Overall, the setup would yield negligible induction in practice.

I was wondering what voltage or current, if any, would be produced if the basic magnet through a copper coil experiment had the poles rotated 90 degress so north and south faced the top/bottom of the coil rather than the entry/exit points?

The attached image has a basic illustration of this.

Thanks

In the limit of a perfect coil, there should be no induction due to the symmetry of the problem. A real coil is not perfect (and the same is true for the magnet and its motion), so you will get some induction, but not much.
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
