  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. Electromagnetic coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil

    The advantage of using the coil shape is that it increases the strength of the magnetic field produced by a given current. The magnetic fields generated by the separate turns of wire all pass through the center of the coil and add to produce a strong field there. [3] The greater the number of turns of wire, the stronger the field produced.

  4. 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 .

  5. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The Induced current is the current generated in a wire due to change in magnetic flux. An example of the induced current is the current produced in the generator which involves rapidly rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field. It is a qualitative law that specifies the direction of induced current, but states nothing about its magnitude.

  6. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    The magnetic field lines of a current-carrying loop of wire pass through the center of the loop, concentrating the field there. Magnetic field generated by passing a current through a coil. An electric current flowing in a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire, due to Ampere's law (see drawing of wire with magnetic field).

  7. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    The magnetic field frequency range can be anywhere from near DC (0 Hz) to many kilohertz or even megahertz (MHz). An AC Helmholtz coil driver is needed to generate the required time-varying magnetic field. The waveform amplifier driver must be able to output high AC current to produce the magnetic field.

  8. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    The magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets or by field coils. In the case of a machine with field coils, a current must flow in the coils to generate (excite) the field, otherwise no power is transferred to or from the rotor. Field coils yield the most flexible form of magnetic flux regulation and de-regulation, but at the expense ...

  9. Ampère's circuital law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_circuital_law

    The original form of Maxwell's circuital law, which he derived as early as 1855 in his paper "On Faraday's Lines of Force" [9] based on an analogy to hydrodynamics, relates magnetic fields to electric currents that produce them. It determines the magnetic field associated with a given current, or the current associated with a given magnetic field.
