Can Magnetic Fields Couple and Affect Each Other?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Magnetic fields can indeed couple and affect each other, as demonstrated in the discussion regarding alternating magnetic fields from coils. A weak alternating magnetic field from one coil can influence another coil with a stronger alternating magnetic field, similar to how different voltages interact. The relative angle between the coils plays a crucial role in maximizing or minimizing the coupling effect. This principle is essential for applications in electromagnetic devices and systems.

Can a weak alternating magnetic field from one coil have an effect on another coil that has a stronger alternating magnetic field?

I ask this because I want to know if magnetic fields follow the same principal as coupling two different voltages together.

Each effects the other. By carefully choosing their relative angle to each other, you can minimize or maximize the reaction.
