  2. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    The magnetic field (marked B, indicated by red field lines) around wire carrying an electric current (marked I) Compass and wire apparatus showing Ørsted's experiment (video [1]) In electromagnetism , Ørsted's law , also spelled Oersted's law , is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field .

  3. MEMS magnetic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_Magnetic_Actuator

    The applied force depends on both the field from the coils and the magnet. The remanence value of the magnet, [4] its volume and position from the coils all contribute to its effect on the applied Force. Whereas the number of turns of coil, its size (radius) and the amount of current passing through it determines its effect on the Applied Force.

  4. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    The original law of Ampère states that magnetic fields relate to electric current. Maxwell's addition states that magnetic fields also relate to changing electric fields, which Maxwell called displacement current. The integral form states that electric and displacement currents are associated with a proportional magnetic field along any ...

  5. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    The validity of Ampère's model means that it is allowable to think of the magnetic material as if it consists of current-loops, and the total effect is the sum of the effect of each current-loop, and so the magnetic effect of a real magnet can be computed as the sum of magnetic effects of tiny pieces of magnetic material that are at a distance ...

  6. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    The magnetic field (B, green) is directed down through the plate. The Lorentz force of the magnetic field on the electrons in the metal induces a sideways current under the magnet. The magnetic field, acting on the sideways moving electrons, creates a Lorentz force opposite to the velocity of the sheet, which acts as a drag force on the sheet.

  7. Magnetoresistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetoresistance

    The net effect (in most materials) is that the electrical resistance has maximum value when the direction of current is parallel to the applied magnetic field. [9] AMR of new materials is being investigated and magnitudes up to 50% have been observed in some uranium (but otherwise quite conventional) ferromagnetic compounds. [ 10 ]

  8. Biot–Savart law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot–Savart_law

    The electric current equation can be viewed as a convective current of electric charge that involves linear motion. By analogy, the magnetic equation is an inductive current involving spin. There is no linear motion in the inductive current along the direction of the B vector. The magnetic inductive current represents lines of force.

  9. Magnetostriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostriction

    Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization.The variation of materials' magnetization due to the applied magnetic field changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, λ.
