  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    This model truncates at degree 12 (168 coefficients) with an approximate spatial resolution of 3,000 kilometers. It is the model used by the United States Department of Defense , the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) , the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the ...

  3. History of geomagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geomagnetism

    The earliest ideas on the nature of magnetism are attributed to Thales (c. 624 BC – c. 546 BC). [1] [2] In classical antiquity, little was known about the nature of magnetism. No sources mention the two poles of a magnet or its tendency to point northward. There were two main theories about the origins of magnetism.

  4. North magnetic pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_magnetic_pole

    By analogy with Earth's magnetic field, these are called the magnet's "north" and "south" poles. Before magnetism was well understood, the north-seeking pole of a magnet was defined to have the north designation, according to their use in early compasses. However, opposite poles attract, which means that as a physical magnet, the magnetic north ...

  5. Poisson's electrical and magnetical investigations were generalized and extended in 1828 by George Green. Green's treatment is based on the properties of the function already used by Lagrange, Laplace, and Poisson, which represents the sum of all the electric or magnetic charges in the field, divided by their respective distances from some given point: to this function Green gave the name ...

  6. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

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

    Two pairs of gauge transformed potentials (φ, A) and (φ′, A′) are called gauge equivalent, and the freedom to select any pair of potentials in its gauge equivalence class is called gauge freedom. Again by the Poincaré lemma (and under its assumptions), gauge freedom is the only source of indeterminacy, so the field formulation is ...

  9. Magmatism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magmatism

    Magmatism is the emplacement of magma within and at the surface of the outer layers of a terrestrial planet, which solidifies as igneous rocks. It does so through magmatic activity or igneous activity, the production, intrusion and extrusion of magma or lava. Volcanism is the surface expression of magmatism.
