  2. Near and far field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

    Near field: This dipole pattern shows a magnetic field B in red. The potential energy momentarily stored in this magnetic field is indicative of the reactive near field. Far field: The radiation pattern can extend into the far field, where the reactive stored energy has no significant presence.

  3. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    In the Ampèrian loop model, there is also a force on a magnetic dipole due to a non-uniform magnetic field, but this is due to Lorentz forces on the current loop that makes up the magnetic dipole. The force obtained in the case of a current loop model is = (), where the gradient ∇ is the change of the quantity m · B per unit distance, and ...

  4. Magnetic dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipole

    Unlike the expressions in the previous section, this limit is correct for the internal field of the dipole. If a magnetic dipole is formed by taking a "north pole" and a "south pole", bringing them closer and closer together but keeping the product of magnetic pole-charge and distance constant, the limiting field is

  5. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    Therefore, a molecule's dipole is an electric dipole with an inherent electric field that should not be confused with a magnetic dipole, which generates a magnetic field. The physical chemist Peter J. W. Debye was the first scientist to study molecular dipoles extensively, and, as a consequence, dipole moments are measured in the non- SI unit ...

  6. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The dipole component of Earth's field can diminish even while the total magnetic field remains the same or increases. The Earth's magnetic north pole is drifting from northern Canada towards Siberia with a presently accelerating rate—10 kilometres (6.2 mi) per year at the beginning of the 1900s, up to 40 kilometres (25 mi) per year in 2003 ...

  7. Magnetic dipole–dipole interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipoledipole...

    Magnetic dipoledipole interaction, also called dipolar coupling, refers to the direct interaction between two magnetic dipoles. Roughly speaking, the magnetic field of a dipole goes as the inverse cube of the distance, and the force of its magnetic field on another dipole goes as the first derivative of the magnetic field. It follows that ...

  8. Dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_model_of_the_earth's...

    The dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field is a first order approximation of the rather complex true Earth's magnetic field. Due to effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), and the solar wind , the dipole model is particularly inaccurate at high L-shells (e.g., above L=3), but may be a good approximation for lower L-shells.

  9. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    The magnetic moment also expresses the magnetic force effect of a magnet. The magnetic field of a magnetic dipole is proportional to its magnetic dipole moment. The dipole component of an object's magnetic field is symmetric about the direction of its magnetic dipole moment, and decreases as the inverse cube of the distance from the object.
