  2. Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field

    The magnetic equator is the line where the inclination is zero (the magnetic field is horizontal). The global definition of the Earth's field is based on a mathematical model. If a line is drawn through the center of the Earth, parallel to the moment of the best-fitting magnetic dipole, the two positions where it intersects the Earth's surface ...

  3. Maxwell (unit) - Wikipedia

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

    This practical unit was previously called a line, [4] reflecting Faraday's conception of the magnetic field as curved lines of magnetic force, [5] which he designated as line of magnetic induction. [4] Kiloline (10 3 line) and megaline (10 6 line) were sometimes used because 1 line was very small relative to the phenomena that it was used to ...

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    Magnetic field lines are like streamlines in fluid flow, in that they represent a continuous distribution, and a different resolution would show more or fewer lines. An advantage of using magnetic field lines as a representation is that many laws of magnetism (and electromagnetism) can be stated completely and concisely using simple concepts ...

  5. Flux tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_tube

    A flux tube is a generally tube-like (cylindrical) region of space containing a magnetic field, B, such that the cylindrical sides of the tube are everywhere parallel to the magnetic field lines. It is a graphical visual aid for visualizing a magnetic field.

  6. Field line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_line

    When randomly dropped (as with the shaker here), iron filings arrange themselves so as to approximately depict some magnetic field lines. The magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet underneath the glass surface. While field lines are a "mere" mathematical construction, in some circumstances they take on physical significance.

  7. Dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_model_of_the_earth's...

    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 dipole model of the Earth's magnetic field is a first order approximation of the rather complex true Earth's magnetic field.

  8. Geology of Triton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Triton

    As a result, Triton's surface geology is largely driven by the dynamics of water ice and other volatiles such as nitrogen and methane. Triton's geology is vigorous, and has been and continues to be influenced by its unusual history of capture, high internal heat, and its thin but significant atmosphere.

  9. 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.
