What happens when a permanent magnet is wound with a copper wire

AI Thread Summary
When a permanent magnet is wound with copper wire and connected to a voltage, the effect on its magnetic flux depends on the direction of the current. The interaction can either increase or decrease the magnet's strength, influenced by factors such as the material's magnetic hardness and hysteresis curve. A strong permanent magnet with weak current will experience minimal change in its magnetism. The overall impact on the permanent magnet's natural magnetism is uncertain, with potential risks of degradation. Understanding these dynamics is essential for applications involving inductors and permanent magnets.

what happens when a permanent magnet is wound with a copper wire (inductor) and the inductor is connected to some volatge? Will the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet increase (i.e., make the permanent magnet more strong)?

Depends on which way the current is flowing. It can add or subtract. I don't know what the effect is on permanent magnets thought. It might destroy their natural magnetism.

It will increase or decrease, as was said, but by how much depends on the magnetic hardness of the material, its hysteresis curve, and the current. If the material is very hard, and the current is weak, the change will be very small.
 
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...
