What happens if you put a magnet next to a solar panel?
Well, I’m trying to make a solar car and I was wondering if I could use neodymium magnets as a base. So if I put it next to a solar panel, will it drain the electricity produced by it or will it enhance it? Also, what if I put a motor next to the neodymium magnet, will the motor not work? The solar panel is connected to the motor using two wires so…. Will it work?
By the way, the pull strength of the magnets is about 1.6 lbs.
