  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. Magnetic dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipole

    In electromagnetism, a magnetic dipole is the limit of either a closed loop of electric current or a pair of poles as the size of the source is reduced to zero while keeping the magnetic moment constant. It is a magnetic analogue of the electric dipole, but the analogy is not perfect. In particular, a true magnetic monopole, the magnetic ...

  4. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    Force between magnets. Magnets exert forces and torques on each other through the interaction of their magnetic fields. The forces of attraction and repulsion are a result of these interactions. The magnetic field of each magnet is due to microscopic currents of electrically charged electrons orbiting nuclei and the intrinsic magnetism of ...

  5. Magnetic dipole–dipole interaction - Wikipedia

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

    Magnetic dipoledipole interaction. 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 ...

  6. Electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field

    A changing electromagnetic field which is physically close to currents and charges (see near and far field for a definition of "close") will have a dipole characteristic that is dominated by either a changing electric dipole, or a changing magnetic dipole. This type of dipole field near sources is called an electromagnetic near-field. Changing ...

  7. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    Dipole. The magnetic field of a sphere with a north magnetic pole at the top and a south magnetic pole at the bottom. By comparison, Earth has a south magnetic pole near its north geographic pole and a north magnetic pole near its South Pole. In physics, a dipole (from Ancient Greek δίς (dís) 'twice' and πόλος (pólos) 'axis') [1][2][3 ...

  8. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The force on a current carrying wire is similar to that of a moving charge as expected since a current carrying wire is a collection of moving charges. A current-carrying wire feels a force in the presence of a magnetic field. The Lorentz force on a macroscopic current is often referred to as the Laplace force.

  9. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    m 2 ⋅ A. Dimension. L2I. In electromagnetism, the magnetic moment or magnetic dipole moment is the combination of strength and orientation of a magnet or other object or system that exerts a magnetic field. The magnetic dipole moment of an object determines the magnitude of torque the object experiences in a given magnetic field.
