> is the (volume) magnetic susceptibility, is the magnitude of the resulting magnetization (A/m), is the magnitude of the applied magnetic field (A/m), is absolute temperature , is a material-specific Curie constant (K).
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 .
The greater the current I, the greater the energy stored in the magnetic field and the lower the inductance which is defined = / where is the magnetic flux produced by the coil of wire. The inductance is a measure of the circuit's resistance to a change in current and so inductors with high inductances can also be used to oppose alternating ...
Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism .
Authors usually derive magnetism from electrostatics when special relativity and charge invariance are taken into account. The Feynman Lectures on Physics (vol. 2, ch. 13–6) uses this method to derive the magnetic force on charge in parallel motion next to a current-carrying wire.
Here μ 0 is the permeability of free space; M the magnetization (magnetic moment per unit volume), B = μ 0 H is the magnetic field, and C the material-specific Curie constant: = (+), where k B is the Boltzmann constant, N the number of magnetic atoms (or molecules) per unit volume, g the Landé g-factor, μ B the Bohr magneton, J the angular ...
Magnetic field (green) of a typical electromagnet, with the iron core C forming a closed loop with two air gaps G in it. B – magnetic field in the core B F – "fringing fields". In the gaps G the magnetic field lines "bulge" out, so the field strength is less than in the core: B F < B
Rather than "magnetic charges", the basic entity for magnetism is the magnetic dipole. (If monopoles were ever found, the law would have to be modified, as elaborated below.) Gauss's law for magnetism can be written in two forms, a differential form and an integral form. These forms are equivalent due to the divergence theorem.
