Surface field vs pull force(attraction force) of multiple magnets?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the observation that multiple magnets can exhibit the same surface field while having varying pull forces. This discrepancy is attributed to differences in the size and dimensions of each magnet, which affect their overall magnetic strength. The pull force increases with the size of the magnet, despite the surface field remaining constant. Participants suggest plotting pull force against linear dimensions and cross-sectional area to analyze the relationship further. Understanding these factors is crucial for applications involving magnet selection and performance.

In the following "semi" table, is a group of magnets,
all seem to have the same Surface field but all different pull force(attraction/repulsive force at maximum with gap = 0).
How is it possibile to have the same S.field rate but different forces? Is it due to the size of each magnet?

Try plotting your pull force versus linear dimension and see what you get. How about pull force versus
cross sectional area?
 
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.
