Why is B the symbol for magnetic induction?
When the magnetic field is observed from the North pole, the magnetic field emerges and and goes towards south. However, inside a magnet there is no field at all, thus forming butterfly shape lines. Hence, B stands for butterfly and due to this concept, scientists used the symbol B for magnetic induction.
What are two fields surround a moving electric charge?
A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.A moving electric charge will produce a magnetic field.
What are materials attracted by a magnet called?
It is called the magnetic force. This is a force caused by the attraction or repulsion of the magnetic fields of the materials.
Why force exerted by a magnetic field on stationary elctric dipole is zero?
The force on a charge by a magnetic field is given by F = Bq v sin@ v - the speed of the charged particle with charge q. B - magnetic field induction in tesla. @ is the angle between the velocity vector and magnetic field vector. As dipole is stationary, the speed of charges is zero. So the force = 0 Hence the result.

What is B in physics?
Magnetic Field
Why you use symbol B for Magnetic field instead of M?
The only thing I can think is that M is already use as a symbol letter for Motors. ANSWER: IT SIGNIFY MAGNETICS HYSTERESIS THE FOUR QUADRANTS
If the strength of the magnetic field at B is 6 units the strength of the magnetic field at A is?
3 units
What is meant by tangent in physics?
when a magnetic substance in placed i two uniform magnetic field (b) and (h) which are mutually perpendicular and coplanar to each other. then the magnetic field intensity of magnetic field of b which making angle θ with h is tanθtimes of h.mathamatically B=tanθxH.

If a magnetic dipole is placed in a magnetic field the dipole is found to have both rotational and translational motion.what would you infer about the magnetic field?
Dipole not aligned with B field = rotational motion B field not constant along field direction = translational motion
What is the causes of electromagnetic induction?
Change in magnetic flux.iechange in magnetic field (B).change in the area vector/ area of magnetic field under the closed circuit (A).The angle between area vector and magnetic field .......xomagnetic flux = cosxo . A . B

Can a dc electric field produce magnetic field?
Yes. A steady current will produce a magnetic field, B= uI/r
What is the relationship between magnetic force and distance?
-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.
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 will calculate the power of magnet?
The electric power is measured the same as in any other electric circuit, in watts. You calculate this by multiplying the current (in amps) by the potential difference (in volts) across the circuit. So: P = I V If you meant how do we measure the strength of the magnetic field generated, there are two different vector fields that may be called "magnetic field". These are the H-field and the B-field. The H-field may also be called the "magnetic field intensity", the "magnetic field strength", the "auxiliary magnetic field" or the "magnetising field". It is measured in amps per metre. The B-field may also be called the "magnetic flux density", the "magnetic induction", or the "magnetic field". It is measured in teslas.
