I actually got into a conversation with the president of the company that sold me the electromagnets (APW company) and he told me that the magnet was a resistor and no kick would be measurable. I'm not about to argue with him, but that sounds tough to imagine. I still haven't managed to gain access to a scope, but I do measure a small, brief negative voltage when I move a weak magnet away from the electromagnet. | |

One thing you could do is to measure the inductance of the activated coil both with and without the iron plate in place. you'd then have a number for delta L. Then the unknown is how fast the plate is removed. That's a bit of a guesstimate... but one could try some different numbers.. 1ms maybe? | |
