    Me when I keep moving a super strong monster magnet of 10¹⁰ >!(I forgor the unit of measurement for magnetic strength)!< near the copper wire:

    (Suddenly the copper shits itself)

      The unit is Tesla. For reference, the earths magnetic field is around 50 μT on the surface (depending on latitude), and MRI machines have 1.5 T or 3 T. So your 10¹⁰ T might just nail you to the earth’s iron core 😂

        Given that even 3 T is already considered a large amount of flux, would it be even possible for an object with 10 billion Tesla to even exist? And if so, what would it take to achieve that amount of flux? Does a neutron star or a pulsar* get even remotely close?

        * - pulling these examples kinda out of my ass – while i’m sure neutron stars have extreme magnetic fields i’m not so sure about pulsars

        I didn’t remember the scale, I just picked a number from my head

      Are you trying to melt the copper by induction? Not much else can be done with a magnet, since copper isn’t ferromagnetic…

        I meant induce so much unwanted voltage that the voltage regulators can’t even handle, killing all electrical supplies

        As some pointed out, 10¹⁰ T is too much, I think 10 T will do
