Behaviour of LEDs in presence of magnetic fields?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the behavior of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the presence of magnetic fields, exploring potential effects and seeking relevant literature on the topic. The scope includes theoretical considerations and experimental observations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions how LEDs behave in magnetic fields and seeks literature on the subject.
  • Another participant suggests that LEDs are not significantly affected by magnetic fields, asking for clarification on the strength of the field in question.
  • A participant references a report indicating that there is very little change in LED performance at high magnetic field strengths, specifically noting insensitivity of light output up to 2.3T within 1%.
  • A later reply reiterates the findings from the referenced report, emphasizing the minimal impact of magnetic fields on LED light output.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the extent to which magnetic fields affect LEDs, with some suggesting minimal impact while others seek further clarification and evidence. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific conditions under which LEDs may or may not be affected.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed definitions of the magnetic field strengths being referenced and does not clarify the specific types of LEDs considered in the observations. There are also no explicit assumptions stated regarding the experimental conditions of the cited report.

Behaviour of LEDs in presence of magnetic fields??

How do LEDs behave in presence of magnetic field?? Any good books or papers dealing extensively with this?? thanking in advance..

Don't think they are much affected by magnetic fields. How high of a field? Do you have something in mind?
