Magnetic repulsion between a permanent magnet and an air coil

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between a permanent magnet and an air core coil, specifically regarding the acceleration of a toy car influenced by magnetic repulsion. It is established that the acceleration is directly related to the intensity of the magnetic field from the permanent magnet. When the electric pulse to the coil remains constant, a stronger magnetic field results in greater repulsion and acceleration of the toy car. Additionally, the distance between the magnet and the coil affects the strength of the magnetic interaction, with greater distances leading to weaker repulsion. Proper current direction in the coil is essential for achieving repulsion rather than attraction.

I would like to receive some input about this "equation" formulated by me, a=f(i), regarding a system with a permanent magnet and an air core coil acting as an electromagnet, as described in the image:

I understand that the acceleration provided to the toy car will be a function of the intensity of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet.

Without changes in the electric pulse to the coil, with the same amount of joules of electricity being provided, the magnetic repulsion and the consequent acceleration of the toy car will be higher when the intensity of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is higher.

Is this right?

It is right. The kick (impulse) given to the toy car will be weaker if the magnet is placed farther away where the magnetic field at the coil is less. If you think of the coil as an instantaneous magnet, the farther apart the two magnets are placed, the weaker the repulsion between them. Of course the current in the coil must have the appropriate direction in order to get repulsion rather than attraction.
 
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...
