Oh Yes, Sorry~gneill said:
So the pre-existing magnetic field is from right to left (N to S) , and then the field due to the current is clockwise...how do I determine where they reinforce?gneill said:Okay, so there is an existing field due to the magnets represented by the rectangles. Sketch in the pre-existing field and then the field due to the current. Where do they reinforce and where do they oppose? You'll probably want to use the right and rule for the magnetic field due to a current
Sketch the vectors!Cici2017 said:
Magnetic field strength is a measure of the intensity or force of a magnetic field at a specific point in space. It is represented by the symbol B and is measured in units of Tesla (T) or Gauss (G).
Magnetic field strength is a property of the magnetic field, while magnetic field refers to the region of space where a magnetic force can be detected. In other words, magnetic field strength describes the strength of the magnetic force at a specific point, while magnetic field describes the overall presence of a magnetic force.
The strength of a magnetic field can be affected by several factors, including the amount of current flowing through a wire, the distance from the magnetic source, and the type of material the magnetic field is passing through. In addition, the strength of a magnetic field decreases as you move further away from the source.
Magnetic field strength is typically measured using a magnetometer, which is a device that can detect and measure the strength of a magnetic field. The unit of measurement for magnetic field strength, Tesla or Gauss, is often displayed on the magnetometer's screen or dial.
Magnetic field strength is important in many scientific and technological applications. It plays a crucial role in the functioning of electric motors, generators, and other devices that use electromagnetic forces. It also plays a role in determining the behavior of charged particles in space, such as those in Earth's magnetic field.
