Is the magnetic field created by a magnet equally powerful across the entire surface area of the pole?
RoscoeSlash said:No particular context, just curious. I am not sure about the answer which is why i asked Mr. Berkeman. I believe the magnetic field is equally powerful across the entire surface area of the magnet.
No. Because of fringing at the end of the magnetic, the magnetic field is slightly weaker toward the outer edges of the face. This is a little like the electric field getting weaker toward the edges of a capacitor.RoscoeSlash said:Is the magnetic field created by a magnet equally powerful across the entire surface area of the pole?
A magnetic field is an invisible force field that surrounds a magnet or electrically charged object and exerts a force on other magnets or electrically charged particles.
A magnetic field is created by the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, within a magnet or electrically charged object. This movement creates a magnetic field that extends from the object.
Magnetic field uniformity refers to the consistency of the strength and direction of a magnetic field throughout a given space. In other words, a uniform magnetic field has the same strength and direction at all points within its range.
Examining magnetic field uniformity is important because it allows scientists to understand how magnetic fields behave and how they can be used in various applications. It also helps to identify any areas of non-uniformity, which can affect the performance of magnetic devices.
Magnetic field uniformity is typically measured using a magnetometer, which is a device that can detect and measure the strength and direction of a magnetic field at a specific point. Other methods include mapping the field using specialized sensors or calculating the field using mathematical equations.
