I don't understand why permeability is not synonymous for magnetic flux
Because it is only a factor in the Hopkinson's law and that law applies to all flux paths - not only the one you consider. If air was a magnetic insulator than things would be different ...but it isn't. ...and why a majority of the PM's flux will penetrate the coil even if the ferrite is absent.
Because of field geometry and coil's placement. Draw the magnetic flux lines in your sketch and see for yourself. ferrite has high permeability so it should bundle magnetic flux through the coil much better than air.
First of all, the word "bundling" implies spatial concentration of the magnetic flux - not the magnitude of the flux. Such concentration affects magnetic flux density (measured in Teslas or Gauss, symbolized by "B") - not the magnitude of the flux (measured in Webers, symbolized by "Φ"). Coils "care" only about the latter. For example all the flux distributions below make no difference for the coil and alternation between these distributions does not cause any current induction in the coil. Secondly, the flux in your sketch has no incentive to take paths outside of the space occupied by the coil. The Hopkinson's law still applies and the magnetic flux through the coil will decrease a little in the absence of the ferrite, but not down to zero. It just has no incentive to go outside of the coil. the ferrite will definitely snap onto the magnet which means that there is good flux path through the coil
The force of attraction is determined by the spatial flux density gradient (dB/ds), not by the density of the flux (B) nor the flux magnitude (Φ) itself. Coils don't "care" about dB/ds nor B. but we could also close the flux path with a common iron horseshoe if that helps.
That will minimize alternative flux paths .A toroidal core is the optimal shape for magnetic flux. we didnt talk about how the electric field actually changes the permeability of the ferrit core - will it go up or down
Down and how big is the change that we can achieve?
For an answer to this question you will have to measure it. It will depend on many factors, especially the substance. No gap in the core with a permanent magnet is necessary to measure the permeability of a ferrite. One winding is enough. those other methods of changing permeability are not recoverable. the electric field is the only thing that can retain its energy.
You are wrong about the acoustic method. temperature is always a loss
Usually yes, unless the heat comes from the environment. See this thread. ...so electric field is the only thing that seems plausible
No
