  2. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    This page lists examples of magnetic induction B in teslas and gauss produced by various sources, grouped by orders of magnitude.. The magnetic flux density does not measure how strong a magnetic field is, but only how strong the magnetic flux is in a given point or at a given distance (usually right above the magnet's surface).

  3. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_(unit)

    The tesla is named after Nikola Tesla. As with every SI unit named for a person, its symbol starts with an upper case letter (T), but when written in full, it follows the rules for capitalisation of a common noun; i.e., tesla becomes capitalised at the beginning of a sentence and in titles but is otherwise in lower case.

  4. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx/cm 2 or g/Bi/s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H-field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted .

  5. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The net work on q 1 thereby generates a magnetic field whose strength (in units of magnetic flux density (1 tesla = 1 volt-second per square meter)) is proportional to the speed increase of q 1. This magnetic field can interact with a neighboring charge q 2 , passing on this momentum to it, and in return, q 1 loses momentum.

  6. Maxwell's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations

    Equivalently, the overdetermination can be viewed as implying conservation of electric and magnetic charge, as they are required in the derivation described above but implied by the two Gauss's laws. For linear algebraic equations, one can make 'nice' rules to rewrite the equations and unknowns. The equations can be linearly dependent.

  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 .

  9. Gauss's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_law

    The law was first [1] formulated by Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1773, [2] followed by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835, [3] both in the context of the attraction of ellipsoids. It is one of Maxwell's equations, which forms the basis of classical electrodynamics. [note 1] Gauss's law can be used to derive Coulomb's law, [4] and vice versa.
