Does an EMP effect magnets

Absolutely. Initially, the effect would be physical force (any magnetic field pushes on an electric or magnetic charge it comes in contact with). If the pulses are just the right frequency and just the right pulse modulation, it could possibly demagnetize the magnet, or even make it stronger, but it would have to be a rather large set of pulses to have that kind of effect. More likely the magnet would shake a little, which could very likely cause physical stress on whatever it is attached to, like a motor housing.

An EMP can temporarily disrupt the alignment of magnetic fields in magnets, affecting their functionality. However, once the EMP is removed, the magnets should regain their magnetic properties.

How do you determine the flux constant of a PMSM?

Flux linkage is determined by magnets. The constant flux (Wb) per pole pairs induced in the stator windings of the magnets. Flux established by the permanent magnets produce three trapezoidal back EMP waveforms.

If no currents are flowing (if the device is off) then EMP will have no effect ... unless its so strong that it causes physical destruction of objects - which would include people.

Do magnets effect goldfish?

Magnets should not have a direct effect on goldfish, as they do not contain magnetic materials that would be affected by magnets. However, it is important to keep magnets away from the fish tank to prevent them from accidentally ingesting the magnets or small metal pieces that can be harmful to the goldfish if swallowed.

Do magnets effect crickets?

Magnets do not have a significant effect on crickets. Crickets are not made up of materials that are easily attracted to magnets like iron or steel. Magnets are unlikely to impact the behavior, movement, or physiology of crickets.


Do magnets attract or repel in vacuum?

Magnets attract or repel in a vacuum just as they do in regular air. The absence of air or other material does not affect the magnetic force between magnets.
