Magnetic field of ferromagnetic material

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the lack of specific formulas for calculating the magnetic field strength of ferromagnetic materials, such as bar magnets. Key factors influencing the magnetic field include the strength of the initial magnetic field and the material's magnetic susceptibility. For practical measurement, using a Hall effect meter is suggested to determine the magnetic field at a specific point. Alternatively, heating the magnet above its Curie point can allow for the induction of a magnetic field. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately assessing the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials.

I've searched high and low among the vast archives of the internet and have yet to find any kind of formula regarding the magnetic field strength of ferromagnetic material (i.e bar magnet... etc). Does anyone know what/if there is one? As is B(r)=...?
Thanks

It really depends on (1) how strong the field used to create it was and (2) the magnetic susceptibility of the ferromagnetic material.

If you don't know those things, you can always get a Hall effect meter and measure the field at the point that you care about it. Or, if you really want to get hands-on, heat the magnet above the Curie point and induce a field yourself.
