  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The Earth's magnetic field strength was measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1832 [69] and has been repeatedly measured since then, showing a relative decay of about 10% over the last 150 years. [70] The Magsat satellite and later satellites have used 3-axis vector magnetometers to probe the 3-D structure of the Earth's magnetic field.

    Using the definition of the cross product, the magnetic force can also be written as a scalar equation: [10]: 357 = ⁡ where F magnetic, v, and B are the scalar magnitude of their respective vectors, and θ is the angle between the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field.

  4. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    35.4 T – the current (2009) world record for a superconducting electromagnet in a background magnetic field [19] 45 T – the current (2015) world record for continuous field magnets [19] 97.4 T – strongest magnetic field produced by a "non-destructive" magnet [20] 100 T – approximate magnetic field strength of a typical white dwarf star ...

  5. L-shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-shell

    Plot showing field lines (which, in three dimensions would describe "shells") for L-values 1.5, 2, 3, 4 and 5 using a dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field. The L-shell, L-value, or McIlwain L-parameter (after Carl E. McIlwain) is a parameter describing a particular set of planetary magnetic field lines.

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  7. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    In this experiment, a static magnetic field runs through a long magnetic wire (e.g., an iron wire magnetized longitudinally). Outside of this wire the magnetic induction is zero, in contrast to the vector potential, which essentially depends on the magnetic flux through the cross-section of the wire and does not vanish outside.

  8. Magnetic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_moment

    The magnetic field of a magnetic dipole depends on the strength and direction of a magnet's magnetic moment but drops off as the cube of the distance such that: = (() | | | |), where H {\displaystyle \mathbf {H} } is the magnetic field produced by the magnet and r {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} } is a vector from the center of the magnetic dipole ...

  9. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

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

    Magnetic induction B (also known as magnetic flux density) has the SI unit tesla [T or Wb/m 2]. [1] One tesla is equal to 10 4 gauss. Magnetic field drops off as the inverse cube of the distance (⁠ 1 / distance 3 ⁠) from a dipole source. Energy required to produce laboratory magnetic fields increases with the square of magnetic field. [2]
