SI Unit of Magnetic Field Intensity
Asked by Sangeeta Deshpande · 1 year ago
What is the SI unit of magnetic field intensity, and how is it defined?
1 Answer
The SI unit of magnetic field intensity (H) is Ampere per meter (A/m).
Definition: Magnetic field intensity is defined as the amount of magnetizing force in a material that results from a magnetic field of 1 Ampere per meter. It is a vector quantity that represents the strength of the magnetic field at a given point in space.
The relationship between magnetic field intensity (H) and magnetic flux density (B) is given by the equation:
B = μH
Where μ is the permeability of the medium.
In vacuum or air, the magnetic field intensity (H) is numerically equal to the magnetic flux density (B) divided by the permeability of free space (μ0).
