  2. Magnetic flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux

    If the magnetic field is constant, the magnetic flux passing through a surface of vector area S is = = ⁡, where B is the magnitude of the magnetic field (the magnetic flux density) having the unit of Wb/m 2 , S is the area of the surface, and θ is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to S.

  3. Flux linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_linkage

    where is the magnetic flux density, or magnetic flux per unit area at a given point in space. The simplest example of such a system is a single circular coil of conductive wire immersed in a magnetic field, in which case the flux linkage is simply the flux passing through the loop.

  4. Current density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_density

    In electromagnetism, current density is the amount of charge per unit time that flows through a unit area of a chosen cross section. [1] The current density vector is defined as a vector whose magnitude is the electric current per cross-sectional area at a given point in space, its direction being that of the motion of the positive charges at this point.

  5. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Gauss's law for magnetism: magnetic field lines never begin nor end but form loops or extend to infinity as shown here with the magnetic field due to a ring of current. Gauss's law for magnetism states that electric charges have no magnetic analogues, called magnetic monopoles ; no north or south magnetic poles exist in isolation. [ 3 ]

  6. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    In this experiment, a static magnetic field runs through a long magnetic wire (e.g., an iron wire magnetized longitudinally). Outside of this wire the magnetic induction is zero, in contrast to the vector potential, which essentially depends on the magnetic flux through the cross-section of the wire and does not vanish outside.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    But when the small coil is moved in or out of the large coil (B), the magnetic flux through the large coil changes, inducing a current which is detected by the galvanometer (G). [ 1 ] Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law ) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to ...

  8. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    Magnetic moment of a planar current density having magnitude I and enclosing an area S or, equivalently, a loop of current I enclosing S The magnetic dipole moment can be calculated for a localized (does not extend to infinity) current distribution assuming that we know all of the currents involved.

  9. Magnetic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_circuit

    Magnetic field (green) induced by a current-carrying wire winding (red) in a magnetic circuit consisting of an iron core C forming a closed loop with two air gaps G in it. In an analogy to an electric circuit, the winding acts analogously to an electric battery, providing the magnetizing field , the core pieces act like wires, and the gaps G act like resistors.
