  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. 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.

  4. Biot–Savart law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot–Savart_law

    The Biot–Savart law [4]: Sec 5-2-1 is used for computing the resultant magnetic flux density B at position r in 3D-space generated by a filamentary current I (for example due to a wire). A steady (or stationary) current is a continual flow of charges which does not change with time and the charge neither accumulates nor depletes at any point.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    (This definition of magnetic flux is why B is often referred to as magnetic flux density.) [35]: 210 The negative sign represents the fact that any current generated by a changing magnetic field in a coil produces a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that induced it.

  7. 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.

  8. Magnetic current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_current

    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 energy sources. In many useful cases, a distribution of electric charge can be mathematically replaced by an ...

  9. Flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux

    The magnetic flux density (magnetic field) having the unit Wb/m 2 is denoted by B, and magnetic flux is defined analogously: [13] [14] = with the same notation above. The quantity arises in Faraday's law of induction , where the magnetic flux is time-dependent either because the boundary is time-dependent or magnetic field is time-dependent.
