How Does the Divergence of Magnetic Field Relate to Magnetizing Fields?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the relationship between the magnetic field strength in materials and the magnetizing field, specifically the equation ∇·H = -∇·M. It begins with the known equation ∇·B = 0 and the relationship B = μ₀(H + M). Participants clarify that by dividing the equation by the constant μ₀, one can rearrange it to show that ∇·H + ∇·M = 0. This leads to the conclusion that the divergence of the magnetic field strength H is directly related to the divergence of the magnetization M. The conversation emphasizes the mathematical manipulation needed to connect these equations.

Hi
I am trying to derive the relation between magnetic field strength in materials and magnetizing field from the $\mathbf B$ field. More exactly, my question is:

how do we get this expression

<br /> $\nabla \centerdot \mathbf H = - \nabla \centerdot \mathbf M$ \\ <br />

knowing

<br /> $\nabla \centerdot \mathbf B = 0$ \\ <br />

and

<br /> $\mathbf B=\mu_0(\mathbf H + \mathbf M )$ <br />
?

Anyone can guid me how the first equation is related to the 2nd and 3rd equations?

thanku
 
Physics news on Phys.org
\nabla \cdot B=\nabla \cdot {\mu}_0(H+M)=0

Do you get the idea now?
 
I 'm not sure !?

but how do we get from this:
inha said:
\nabla \cdot B=\nabla \cdot {\mu}_0(H+M)=0

to this:

\nabla \cdot H= -\nabla \cdot M

I can only see you have replaced B !

Or maybe you want me to think like this :
\nabla \cdot H=\nabla \cdot {\mu}_0H+{\mu}_0M
\nabla \cdot H=\nabla \cdot {\mu}_0M
assuming for a very small volume of material ?

or am I totally misunderstanding !?
 
\nabla \cdot {\mu}_0(H+M)=0

divide \mu_o out. you can do that since it's just a constant. then you have

\nabla \cdot H + \nabla \cdot M=0

which is what you're looking for once you move the M-term to the other side of the eq.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
