this is just a question i can't seem to find an answer for, but i was wondering how strong a 5 tesla magnetic field is?

For comparison, these are some approximate mag field strengths, in tesla:
At Earth's surface: 10^-4
Near a small bar magnet: 10^-2
Bainbridge mass spectrometer: 0.4
Near a big electrommagnet: 1.5
 
mag field effect

what would happen if i placed a piece of iron in a 5 tesla field?

Duh? It would be attracted to the B field? :-p :smile:

But I guess you knew that. :biggrin:

Correct answer...
A net magnetization would be induced in the iron in the direction of the field.

BTW, What are you using to produce the 5 Tesla?
