Synchronization of Charge Movement

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the relationship between charge movement and electric current, emphasizing that a higher flow of charges results in a stronger current. It raises the question of whether there are distinct properties associated with strong currents and how synchronization of charge movement could be achieved. The analogy of metronomes syncing on a board leads to inquiries about devices or natural phenomena that could similarly synchronize charge movement. Magnets are suggested as a potential means to influence charge movement, but the discussion seeks clarity on the forces required for effective synchronization. The conversation ultimately seeks to understand the mechanisms behind charge synchronization in electrical systems.

I understand the the motion of charges in a particular direction constitutes a current, and from my understanding, the more charges you have flowing in the same direction, the stronger the current. Are there significantly different properties that arise with strong current? After watching this video:

I was wondering if there is an analogous way to sync the movement of charges. It seems like the board on which the metronomes move "coaxes" the metronomes to sync up. What kind of device or naturally occurring object, if any, could do the same for charges? Magnets come to mind, since they move charges, and charges can move magnets, but I'm not sure about the relative forces that would be needed to keep in proportion.

Thoughts?

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...
