Magnetism, difference between B, H and M

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the distinction between the magnetic field intensity (H), magnetic flux density (B), and magnetization (M) in the context of magnetism. Participants emphasize that these symbols represent different physical quantities rather than a singular equation. The conversation highlights the importance of referencing credible sources and demonstrating understanding through research and problem-solving processes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electromagnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with magnetic field theory
  • Knowledge of vector calculus as it applies to physics
  • Ability to interpret scientific literature and textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical relationships between B, H, and M in magnetism
  • Study the physical significance of each quantity in electromagnetic theory
  • Explore applications of B, H, and M in real-world magnetic systems
  • Review relevant sections in textbooks such as "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching electromagnetism, and researchers in materials science focusing on magnetic properties.

Homework Statement
What's the difference between B, H and M in magnetism?
Relevant Equations
B, H, M
As the homework statement suggests
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What research have you done? What does your textbook say?
B, H, M is a juxtaposition of symbols not a "relevant equation."
"As the homework statement suggests" is not a credible attempt at answering the question.

Please try harder.
