  2. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    Magnetic field induction along the axis crossing the center of coils; z = 0 is the point in the middle of the distance between coils Contours showing the magnitude of the magnetic field near a coil pair, with one coil at top and the other at bottom.

  3. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    A magnetic field is a vector field, but if it is expressed in Cartesian components X, Y, Z, each component is the derivative of the same scalar function called the magnetic potential. Analyses of the Earth's magnetic field use a modified version of the usual spherical harmonics that differ by a multiplicative factor.

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field [1]) ... along the axis of the loop, where is the uniform current flowing through the loop. Solenoid = (⁡ + ...

  5. Dynamo theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamo_theory

    It was once believed that the dipole, which comprises much of the Earth's magnetic field and is misaligned along the rotation axis by 11.3 degrees, was caused by permanent magnetization of the materials in the earth. This means that dynamo theory was originally used to explain the Sun's magnetic field in its relationship with that of the Earth.

  6. Magnetic anisotropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_anisotropy

    In other words, the easy axis is an energetically favorable direction of spontaneous magnetization. Because the two opposite directions along an easy axis are usually equivalently easy to magnetize along, the actual direction of magnetization can just as easily settle into either direction, which is an example of spontaneous symmetry breaking.

  7. Magnetic dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dipole

    The magnetic field of a current loop. The ring represents the current loop, which goes into the page at the x and comes out at the dot. In classical physics, the magnetic field of a dipole is calculated as the limit of either a current loop or a pair of charges as the source shrinks to a point while keeping the magnetic moment m constant.

  8. Rotating magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_magnetic_field

    The rotating magnetic field is the key principle in the operation of induction machines.The induction motor consists of a stator and rotor.In the stator a group of fixed windings are so arranged that a two phase current, for example, produces a magnetic field which rotates at an angular velocity determined by the frequency of the alternating current.

  9. Geomagnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_pole

    Like the North Magnetic Pole, the North Geomagnetic Pole attracts the north pole of a bar magnet and so is in a physical sense actually a magnetic south pole. It is the center of the 'open' magnetic field lines which connect to the interplanetary magnetic field and provide a direct route for the solar wind to reach the ionosphere.
