AI Thread Summary
Magnetism is a component of the electromagnetic force that relates to the velocity of moving charges, distinguishing it from electric force, which is position-dependent. The discussion raises the question of whether a stationary magnetic field can influence another stationary electric field. This inquiry highlights the interaction between magnetic and electric fields in electromagnetic theory. Understanding these relationships is crucial for grasping the fundamentals of electromagnetism. The exploration of these concepts deepens the comprehension of how magnetism and electric fields coexist and interact.

What is magnetism exactly? I understand it is a portion of the electromagnetic force of a moving charge directed to where it used to be.

It's the part of the electromagnetic force that depends on the particle's velocity. (whereas the electric force depends only on the particle's position)
 
Thanks a lot dude. Anyway, Does the presense of a stationary magnetic field affect another stationary electric 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...
