noun Electricity.
- Also called magnetic flux density. a vector quantity used as a measure of a magnetic field. Symbol: B
- magnetization induced by proximity to a magnetic field.
noun
- a measure of the strength of a magnetic field at a given point, expressed by the force per unit length on a conductor carrying unit current at that pointSymbol: B Also called: magnetic induction
noun
- another name for magnetic flux density
- A vector quantity measuring the strength and direction of the magnetic field around a magnet or an electric current. Magnetic flux density is equal to magnetic field strength times the magnetic permeability in the region in which the field exists. Electric charges moving through a magnetic field are subject to a force described by the equation F = qv X B, where q is the amount of electric charge, v is the velocity of the charge, B is the magnetic flux density at the position of the charge, and X is the vector product. Magnetic flux density also can be understood as the density of magnetic lines of force, or magnetic flux lines, passing through a specific area. It is measured in units of tesla. Also called magnetic flux magnetic induction
- The process by which a substance, such as iron, becomes magnetized by a magnetic field.
- See magnetic flux density.
