  2. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    where H 0 is the applied magnetic field due only to the free currents and H d is the demagnetizing field due only to the bound currents. The magnetic H-field, therefore, re-factors the bound current in terms of "magnetic charges". The H field lines loop only around "free current" and, unlike the magnetic B field, begins and ends near magnetic ...

  3. Proximity effect (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_effect...

    In conductors carrying AC current in opposite directions, it causes the current in the conductor to concentrate on the side adjacent to the nearby conductor. Proximity effect is caused by eddy currents induced within a conductor by the time-varying magnetic field of the other conductor, by electromagnetic induction. For example, in a coil of ...

  4. Biot–Savart law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot–Savart_law

    The application of this law implicitly relies on the superposition principle for magnetic fields, i.e. the fact that the magnetic field is a vector sum of the field created by each infinitesimal section of the wire individually. [6] For example, consider the magnetic field of a loop of radius carrying a current .

  5. List of electrical phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electrical_phenomena

    Hall effect — Separation of charges in a current-carrying conductor inside an external magnetic field, which produces a voltage across the conductor. Inductance — The phenomenon whereby the property of a circuit by which energy is stored in the form of an electromagnetic field.

  6. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    The magnetic field lines of a current-carrying loop of wire pass through the center of the loop, concentrating the field there The magnetic field generated by passing a current through a coil. An electric current flowing in a wire creates a magnetic field around the wire, due to Ampere's law (see drawing of wire with magnetic field).

  7. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    The magnetic field (marked B, indicated by red field lines) around wire carrying an electric current (marked I) Compass and wire apparatus showing Ørsted's experiment (video [1]) In electromagnetism, Ørsted's law, also spelled Oersted's law, is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field. [2]

  8. Electromagnetic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pump

    A magnetic field (b rc) always exists around the current (I)-carrying conductor. When this current-carrying conductor is subjected to an external magnetic field (B ap), the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of I and B ap. This is because the magnetic field produced by the conductor and the applied magnetic field ...

  9. Ampère's force law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_force_law

    The top wire carries a current I 2 through the magnetic field B 1, so (by the Lorentz force) the wire experiences a force F 12. (Not shown is the simultaneous process where the top wire makes a magnetic field which results in a force on the bottom wire.) In magnetostatics, the force of attraction or repulsion between two current-carrying wires ...
