Magnetic Flux and Pole Definition

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the definition of magnetic poles and the behavior of magnetic field lines, which emerge from north poles and enter south poles. It is established that a surface exhibiting outward magnetic field lines is classified as a North pole, characterized by positive magnetic flux, while a surface with inward magnetic field lines is identified as a South pole, associated with negative magnetic flux. The relationship between magnetic poles and their respective flux is a fundamental principle of magnetism, rooted in the laws of polarities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic field lines
  • Knowledge of magnetic flux concepts
  • Familiarity with the definitions of north and south poles in magnetism
  • Basic principles of electromagnetism
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the laws of magnetism, specifically focusing on magnetic flux
  • Explore the concept of magnetic field lines and their significance
  • Study the relationship between electric charges and magnetic poles
  • Investigate practical applications of magnetic poles in technology
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators in electromagnetism, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles of magnetism and magnetic field behavior.

The magnetic field lines emerge from the north poles to south poles.Why its always true this event? i expect your answers please... :confused:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i think it mite b a law of polarities? north go to south@_@ like positive go to negative electrons
 
If there's NO magnetic field piercing a surface (inward or outward),
then it is not a pole at all.

If Magnetic field comes outward through some surface,
we could call that surface a North pole ... (or it is NEAR a North pole).

Most precisely, that surface area has "positive magnetic flux" outward.

The opposite is for magnetic field piercing INto a surface ...
call it a South Pole, or surrface Area with negative magnetic flux.

As a definition ... why does this bother you?
