Defining Magnetic Intensity
Asked by Kiran P · 1 year ago
What is magnetic intensity and how is it measured?
1 Answer
Magnetic intensity, also known as magnetic field strength, is a vector quantity that measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field at a given point in space. It is denoted by the symbol H.
Magnetic intensity is measured in amperes per meter (A/m) in the SI system. It can be calculated using the formula:
H = B / μ
Where:
H = Magnetic intensity
B = Magnetic flux density
μ = Permeability of the medium
In a vacuum or air, the relationship between magnetic intensity (H) and magnetic flux density (B) is linear, given by B = μ0H, where μ0 is the permeability of free space.
