What is the difference between magnatic field strength and pole strength?

Pole strength is ability of poles to produce lines of force where is field strength is force which a magnetic poles experiences when places in magnetic field.


What is the unit to measure the strength of a magnetic field?

We can say magnetic field strength is a measure of magnetic strength of a magnet.. like electric field density in electrostatics.... ex consider a current carrying wire which produce a magnetic field in radial direction... by using ampere law.. we can easily find magnetic field strength at a point (r distance from wire)... H=I/(2*3.14*r).. its like finding a electric field intensity by Guass law.......The magnetic field ranges from less than 30 micro-teslas (0.3 gauss) to 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) The strength varies daily usually about 25 nanoteslas (nT) with variations every second of 1 nTAnswerMagnetic field strength (symbol H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit, and is expressed in amperes per metre (A/m). The original answer appears to be defining flux density(expressed in teslas), not magnetic field strength.


How do you reduce the strength of magnetic field?

you spread them apart.


How do you calculate magnetic flux density?

'Magnetic field strength' (symbol: H) is defined as 'the magnetomotive force, per unit length, of a magnetic circuit'. In SI, it is expressed in amperes per metre (A/m), which is often spoken as "'ampere turns' per metre".It's equation is: H = (IN) / lwhere:H = magnetic field strength (ampere per metre)I = current flowing through coil (amperes)N = number of turns in coill = length of magnetic circuit


Current passing through a conductor is increased from 10 A to 15 A. This decreases the strength of the magnetic field produced by the conductor.?

No. More current will result in more magnetic field.

What is the limit for magnetic field developed for a DC machine?

The magnetic field used in machines is quantified in terms of its flux density (symbol: B), expressed in teslas. The flux density is established by the magnetic field strength (H), expressed in amperes per metre, set up in the field windings.As the magnetic field strength increases, the flux density increases until it reaches saturation. This is the point when the magnetic domains within the magnetic circuit are all aligned. At this point, any further increase in magnetic field strength will fail to increase the flux density.So saturation of the magnetic circuit limits the flux density of the field.

The unit of magnetism are: Weber for magnetic flux, Tesla for magnetic flux density and ampere per meter for magnetic field strength.


How do you calculate the magnetic field strength in an injector cyclotron?

- Magnetic field strength is the intensity of a magnetic field at a given location. Historically, a distinction is made between magnetic field strength H, measured in ampere/meter, and magnetic flux density B, measured in tesla. Magnetic field strength is defined as the mechanical force (newton) on a wire of unit length (m) with unit electric current(A). The unit of the magnetic field, therefore, is newton/ (ampere x meter), which is called tesla. The magnetic field may be visualized by magnetic field lines. The field strength then corresponds to the density of the field lines. The total number of magnetic field lines penetrating an area is called magnetic flux. The unit of the magnetic flux is tesla x m2 = weber. The older units for the magnetic flux, maxwell = 10-8 weber, and for the magnetic flux density, gauss = maxwell / cm2 = 10-4 tesla, are not to be used any more. Magnetic flux density diminishes with increasing distance from a straight current-carrying wire or a straight line connecting a pair of magnetic poles around which the magnetic field is stable. At a given location in the vicinity of a current-carrying wire, the magnetic flux density is directly proportional to the current in amperes. If a ferromagnetic object such as a piece of iron is brought into a magnetic field, the "magnetic force" exerted on that object is directly proportional to the gradient of the magnetic field strength where the object is located. ------------------------------------------------------------------- B=μH Magnetic field in Solenoid B=μnI where n is turns/m So H=nI --------------------------------------------


How do you calculate the magnetic dipole moment of a bar magnet?

The strength of a magnet can be determined by measuring its flux density (B) which is expressed in teslas. The flux density will vary according to where relative to the magnet it is being measured. The instrument for doing this is a flux-density meter (which was called a 'gaussmeter' - 'gauss' being an obsolete unit of measurement for flux density, from the cgsA metric system).


What is magnetic field strength?

Earth's magnetic field strength at the equator is about 30 microtesla.


How does distance affect magnetism?

Magnetic field strength (H) is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length, and is expressed in amperes per metre (often spoken as 'ampere turns per metre') in SI. An older, and far more descriptive term, is 'magnetomotive force gradient'.The 'closeness' or intensity of a magnetic field's flux lines, on the other hand is termed magnetic flux density(B), expressed in teslas in SI.There is a complex relationship between magnetic field strength and flux density, because of a property exhibited by ferromagnetic materials, called 'hysteresis'. In general, as the magnetic field strength applied to a sample of unmagnetised ferromagnetic material increases, the resulting flux density also increases (but not linearly) until saturation is reached, at which point any further increase in magnetic field strength will have no effect whatsoever on the flux density. If the magnetic field strength is then reduced, the flux density will also reduce (again, not linearly), but when the magnetic field strength reaches zero amperes, a certain amount of flux density remains.So to answer your question, you really need to study what's known as the B-H or magnetising curve for a sample of ferromagnetic material -this will show you exactly what the relationship between magnetic field strength and flux density for any give ferromagnetic material.

What is Magnetic flux density unit?

"Magnetic flux density" is also known as the magnetic field,The SI unit for this is the Tesla, written as T.CommentMagnetic flux density is not "also known as the magnetic field". It describes the intensity of a magnetic field.


Is magnetic field strength a vector quantity?

When one refers to the strength of a magnetic field, they're usually referring to the scalar magnitude of the magnetic field vector, so no.


How much volts or currents in order to produce one tesla?

There is no straightforward answer to your question. A tesla is the unit of measurement for magnetic flux density, defined in terms of magnetic flux per unit area. Magnetic flux density is determined by the magnetic field strength of the magnetic circuit in question which is expressed in ampere (turns) per metre. Unfortunately, the relationship between magnetic field strength and flux density isn't straightforward, as it depends on the shape of the B/H curve for the magnetic circuit's material. So, as you can see, there are too many unknown variables to give you a straightforward answer.
