    Magnets Repulsion
AI Thread Summary
When two repelling magnets have a piece of iron placed between them, the magnets will be attracted to the iron. The interaction between the magnets and the iron can alter the overall magnetic forces at play. The specific outcomes depend on the geometry of the setup and the strength of the magnets. Magnetic systems can become complex when multiple objects are involved. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective experimentation in magnet projects.

Hello,

Imagine I have 2 magnets and they are repelling each other. Then I add a piece of iron in between them. Would they be attracted to the piece of iron?
Yes I could just check for myself, but I'm getting my first magnets shipment only next week and I would like to start working on my magnets project.

The force might change, this depends on the geometry of the experiment.
In general, those systems are complicated once you have magnetic objects close to each other (relative to their size).
 
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...
