  2. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    where H 0 is the applied magnetic field due only to the free currents and H d is the demagnetizing field due only to the bound currents. The magnetic H-field, therefore, re-factors the bound current in terms of "magnetic charges". The H field lines loop only around "free current" and, unlike the magnetic B field, begins and ends near magnetic ...

  3. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    The magnetic field between poles (see the figure for Magnetic pole model) is in the opposite direction to the magnetic moment (which points from the negative charge to the positive charge), while inside a current loop it is in the same direction (see the figure to the right). The limits of these fields must also be different as the sources ...

  4. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  5. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    In the electric and magnetic field formulation there are four equations that determine the fields for given charge and current distribution. A separate law of nature, the Lorentz force law, describes how the electric and magnetic fields act on charged particles and currents. By convention, a version of this law in the original equations by ...

  6. Magnetization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetization

    The magnetization field or M-field can be defined according to the following equation: =. Where is the elementary magnetic moment and is the volume element; in other words, the M-field is the distribution of magnetic moments in the region or manifold concerned.

  7. 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 .

  8. Biot–Savart law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot–Savart_law

    In physics, specifically electromagnetism, the Biot–Savart law (/ ˈ b iː oʊ s ə ˈ v ɑːr / or / ˈ b j oʊ s ə ˈ v ɑːr /) [1] is an equation describing the magnetic field generated by a constant electric current. It relates the magnetic field to the magnitude, direction, length, and proximity of the electric current.

  9. Magnetic current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_current

    Magnetic currents produce an electric field analogously to the production of a magnetic field by electric currents. Magnetic current density, which has the unit V/m 2 (volt per square meter), is usually represented by the symbols and . [a] The superscripts indicate total and impressed magnetic current density. [1] The impressed currents are the ...
