  2. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    If the magnet is aligned with the magnetic field, corresponding to two magnets oriented in the same direction near the poles, then it will be drawn into the larger magnetic field. If it is oppositely aligned, such as the case of two magnets with like poles facing each other, then the magnet will be repelled from the region of higher magnetic field.

  3. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    In electromagnetics, the term magnetic field is used for two distinct but closely related vector fields denoted by the symbols B and H. In the International System of Units, the unit of B, magnetic flux density, is the tesla (in SI base units: kilogram per second squared per ampere), [5]: 21 which is equivalent to newton per meter per ampere.

  4. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other.Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism.

  5. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    In a case when the external magnetic field is non-uniform, there will be a force, proportional to the magnetic field gradient, acting on the magnetic moment itself. There are two expressions for the force acting on a magnetic dipole, depending on whether the model used for the dipole is a current loop or two monopoles (analogous to the electric ...

  6. Magnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet

    A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets.

  7. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    The surface current density I^' is directly proportional to the remanent magnetic field B_r, which is a measure of the magnet's residual magnetization after an external magnetic field is removed. This property is crucial for the magnet's performance in applications such as magnetic levitation, where maintaining a stable and strong magnetic ...

  8. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    A magnetic field is a vector field, but if it is expressed in Cartesian components X, Y, Z, each component is the derivative of the same scalar function called the magnetic potential. Analyses of the Earth's magnetic field use a modified version of the usual spherical harmonics that differ by a multiplicative factor.

  9. Electromagnetic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pump

    The current is fed through a conducting liquid. Two permanent magnets are arranged to produce a magnetic field B ap as shown in the figure. The supplied current has a current density (J) and the magnetic field associated with this current can be called "Reaction magnetic Field (b rc)". The two magnetic fields B ap and b rc attempt to align with ...
