Magnetic field effect on resonance

AI Thread Summary
The resonant frequency of a circuit containing an inductor and a capacitor can be influenced by a magnetic field, depending on the inductor's characteristics. If the inductor's inductance is affected by the magnetic field, the resonant frequency will change. Conversely, if the inductor is a simple coil with constant inductance, the magnetic field will not impact the resonant frequency. Inductors with materials like ferrite cores, where permeability varies with the magnetic field, will experience changes in resonance. Thus, the effect of a magnetic field on resonance is contingent on the type of inductor used.

In a parallel or series circuit comprising an inductor and a capacitor, is the resonant frequency value of the circuit affected by subjecting the inductor to a magnetic field ?

It depends on the inductor. If the inductance of the inductor depends on the magnetic field the answer is yes, if not the answer is no.
Hence, the answer would be no if the inductor is just e.g a coil; but if it has e.g. a ferrite core where the permeability depends on the magnetic field then the answer would be yes.
 
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...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
