Calculating Induced Magnetic Moment of Steel | Step-by-Step Guide

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the induced magnetic moment of steel in the context of classical electrodynamics. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the material's susceptibility and hysteresis effects, which can significantly influence the induced magnetization. For introductory-level inquiries, it is recommended to estimate magnetization using susceptibility, while advanced cases may require consulting a magnetization curve specific to the type of steel. This approach ensures accurate calculations based on the applied magnetic field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Classical electrodynamics principles
  • Understanding of magnetic susceptibility
  • Knowledge of hysteresis in magnetic materials
  • Familiarity with magnetization curves for different steel types
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between magnetic susceptibility and induced magnetization
  • Study hysteresis loops and their implications in magnetic materials
  • Explore specific magnetization curves for various types of steel
  • Learn about advanced methods for calculating magnetic moments in complex materials
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics, particularly those studying classical electrodynamics, as well as researchers and engineers working with magnetic materials and their applications in technology.

Excuse me, can anyone teach me how to calculate the induced magnetic moment of steel, given the applied magnetic field?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Can you give us the background for this question ? Is it for a class - if so, what grade/level ?
 
Thx for answreing.
I think this is a University question...
 
That's not enough because the answer varies depending on what approach you take on the problem. Is this in context of classical electrodynamics or condensed matter physics? Intro or advanced(graduate level)?
 
It is only at introductory level.

Please concern it as easy as possible, classical electrodynamics I think.
 
Typically, you can estimate the magnetization from the susceptibility. But depending on the material (kind of steel) the hysteresis might ne large enough that you'd want to refer to a magnetization curve to determine the induced magnetization at a given field.
