    Disk Field Rod
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the magnetic fields (B and H) for a long rod and a disk with uniform magnetization M. It explains that the B and H fields are influenced by boundary conditions at the surfaces of the objects, with the relation B - H = 4πM being crucial. For the disk, the values are B = 2πM and H = -2πM, primarily due to boundary conditions at the ends. In contrast, the rod has B = 4πM and H approximately 0 along most of its length, with variations near the ends where boundary conditions also play a significant role. Understanding these concepts is essential for analyzing demagnetization effects in different geometries.

As shown in the figure attached.
If both have the magnetization M, what will the B field and H fied for each object look like? why?
I have no hint how to answear this question, can anyone help?
any reply highly appreciated.

Usually we speak of magnetization as being inside of some material. That directly relates to the "H field" (or magnetic field inside a medium) by a factor \chi.

The "B field" then follows directly from that using basic relations; however, can you provide more context? Why do you ask?
 
It is something related to the concept demagnetization.
For a ellipse, the demagnetizating factor is the same everywhere.
 
I assume that the picture means that M is constant in the material with the direction shown.
B and H are determined by the boundary conditions at the surfaces and constrained by the relation B-H=4pi M (in gaussian units).
Permeability and susceptibility are meaningless for this case.
For the disk, B=2pi M and H=-2pi M, because the BC at the ends dominates.
For the rod, B=4pi M and H~0 for most of the length, but near the ends the disklike BC dominates.
 
What dose BC mean?

Boundary Conditions: B_normal continuous, H_tangential continuous.
