Trapping Iron Plate Motion Using Magnetic Shield

AI Thread Summary
An iron plate can move through magnetic field lines created by a permanent magnet, transitioning from areas of lower to higher magnetic density. By employing a magnetic shield, it is possible to create a trap that places the iron plate in a region devoid of magnetic field lines, allowing it to maintain its motion. The principle of inertia states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless influenced by an external force. This concept highlights the potential for utilizing magnetic shields in motion control applications. Understanding these dynamics can lead to innovative designs in magnetic systems.

An iron plate would glide through magnetic field lines from the more separated towards the more condensed of a permanent magnet. If we use a magnetic shield to make a trap where that iron plate finds itself in dead area (no magnetic field lines) then it would continue the motion it gained .https://www.physicsforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27274&stc=1&d=1280523071

Absolutely! Once in motion by any means, an object will continue in motion unless acted on by some outside force.
 
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...
