In electromagnetism, permeability is the measure of magnetization produced in a material in response to an applied magnetic field.Permeability is typically represented by the (italicized) Greek letter μ.

Micro (Greek letter μ, mu, non-italic) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 −6 (one millionth). [1] It comes from the Greek word μικρός (mikrós), meaning "small". [2] It is the only SI prefix which uses a character not from the Latin alphabet.
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.
In the old "electromagnetic (emu)" system of units, defined in the late 19th century, k m was chosen to be a pure number equal to 2, distance was measured in centimetres, force was measured in the cgs unit dyne, and the currents defined by this equation were measured in the "electromagnetic unit (emu) of current", the "abampere". A practical ...
Magnetochemistry is concerned with the magnetic properties of chemical compounds and elements.Magnetic properties arise from the spin and orbital angular momentum of the electrons contained in a compound.
In electrochemistry, the electrochemical potential of electrons (or any other species) is the total potential, including both the (internal, nonelectrical) chemical potential and the electric potential, and is by definition constant across a device in equilibrium, whereas the chemical potential of electrons is equal to the electrochemical ...
Mu-metal shields for cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) used in oscilloscopes, from a 1945 electronics magazine. Mu-metal is a soft magnetic alloy with exceptionally high magnetic permeability. The high permeability of mu-metal provides a low reluctance path for magnetic flux, leading to its use in magnetic shields against static or slowly varying ...
