SUMMARY
The magnetic moment (\mu) of a rare-earth magnet, specifically neodymium, can be approximated using the equation B=\mu_o*2\mu/(4\pi*d^3). For neodymium magnets, which have a permeability close to 1 and produce approximately 1.1T in short-circuit conditions, the magnetic moment can be calculated by multiplying the magnet's volume by 875 kA/m. This approximation is valid for neodymium, while AlNiCo and iron magnets require consideration of their significant permeability, affecting the conversion of short-circuit induction to coercivity.
