How Does Temperature Impact Neodymium Magnet Performance?

AI Thread Summary
Temperature significantly affects the performance of Neodymium magnets, with a loss of magnetic strength of -0.09 to -0.13% of Br per degree Celsius. These magnets can operate stably up to 80°C, but exceeding this limit may lead to irreversible changes in magnetic properties, particularly if the Curie temperature is surpassed. If cooled below the critical temperature, magnets may regain their strength, but exceeding the knee on the BH Curve can result in permanent loss of magnetism. Manufacturers typically provide graphs illustrating these properties, aiding in understanding the temperature effects. Overall, careful management of temperature is crucial for maintaining Neodymium magnet performance.

I am interested in the effects of temperature on Permanent Magnets. I understand that Neodymium magnets lose -0.09 ~ -0.13% of Br/°C and can work stably under 80°C for low Hci Neodymium magnets.
However, what happens to them just over this 80°C limit? Do they still have some magnetic strength to attract and repel? If they are cooled, do they retain their full strength or do they loss some strength?

Usually the manufacturer will provide a graph, with a BH Curve. Example: http://www.mceproducts.com/_img/materials/N3571.pdf

The Temperature coefficient of Br is a property that describes how the magnetic property changes with temperature. This change is reversible though - the magnetic property returns when the temperature is returned to its original operational point.
But if you don't exceed the knee (shown on the graph), the changes in magnetic property are reversible, otherwise, in most cases it is not.

You will also need to keep in mind something called the curie temperature (Tc). If you exceed this temp, the ferromagnetic material completely loses its magnetic property (and changes in most cases are irreversible).

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
