Units of P1 and P2 in Coulomb's Law

AI Thread Summary
In Coulomb's law for magnetic poles, P1 and P2 represent magnetic pole strengths, typically measured in Amperes per meter (A/m). The term 'P' is accurately referred to as magnetic pole strength rather than magnetic pole intensity. The discussion clarifies that the units and terminology are essential for understanding magnetic interactions. A linked resource provides further insights into magnetic poles and their relation to Coulomb's law. This foundational knowledge is crucial for those studying electromagnetism.

- What are the units of P1 and P2 in Coulomb's law for magnetic poles? (picture attached).
- What is the accurate name of 'P' : magnetic pole strength? Magnetic pole intensity?

PS: Sorry if my questions are too basic for this forum- I am not a Physicist.

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...
