Magnet Falling Through Ring Model written by Francisco Esquembre

Hi Prof Paco!
i have a question about this computer model.
is the length of the magnet a variable programmed into the codes?
i cant seems to follow the codes if indeed if it is programmed.

i tried to lengthen the magnet but the simulation still gives the same emf graph as if the length is the same.

the end goal is to allow 2 magnetic dipoles at each end of the magnet so that if the magnet is longer, the peaks of the emf is further apart.

my work and discussion with teachers can be found here http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=2066.0

attached is my remixed source code for your consideration to advice me how to change the codes or you may wish to release your own more powerful model that allows the length of magnet to be varied:)

thanks!
