What is the maximum magnetic field strength for a given size permanent magnet?

AI Thread Summary
The maximum magnetic field strength for a permanent magnet, such as a 1cm neodymium ball, is limited by saturation and typically reaches around 2 Tesla. This saturation point is independent of the magnet's size. Achieving magnetic field strengths beyond this threshold requires additional technologies like coils or lasers. The discussion highlights the inherent limitations of permanent magnets compared to other methods of generating magnetic fields. Understanding these limits is crucial for applications in various fields.

Now I'm sure one can find this at google somehow , even though I wasn't that successful with it.

Does someone know what is the highest magnetic field strength for a givem size permanent magnet for example?
Like a 1cm ball of neodymium or some other material, what would be the highest field strength possible to achieve for a given material of a given size?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
For permanent magnets, the limit is given by the saturation, and it does not depend on the size of the magnet. ~2T are possible, everything beyond that needs coils, lasers or other stuff.
 
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...
