Tough tough question: Calculating magnetic Flux in water

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the change in magnetic flux produced by a spinning 1.61 tesla magnet in water involves understanding the geometry of the setup, including the dimensions of the vortex created. The magnet is centered in a 19-inch tall, 13.5-inch diameter container, spinning at 350 RPM with a propeller generating a vortex that narrows from 6 inches to 4 inches in diameter. The water's relative magnetic permeability is 1, indicating it does not affect the magnetic flux or field. To determine the induced EMF, one must analyze the magnetic field changes as the vortex interacts with the magnet. Accurate calculations will depend on the specific parameters of the magnetic field and the dynamics of the vortex.

Hey all, so i have a cylindrical 1.61 tesla magnet with pole orientations (+)_)- being spun at 350RPMs in a cylindrical body of water. The body of water dimensions are 19inches tall, and 13.5 diameter. The magnet is centered in the container of water.
Also, the magnet is spinning with a propeller on the top of it so it is generating a vortex. the vortex is approximately 6inches in diameter at the surface of the water, and at the point it reaches the magnet it is about 4inches in diameter. I am really trying to determine the change in magnetic flux that way i can determine how much EMF is being produced. :redface: So, if anyone can help me it would be really appreciated.

It doesn't matter whether the water is moving or stationary. Water has relative magnetic permeability = 1 so it has no effect on magnetic flux or field.

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...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

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.
