Questions tagged [magnetic-fields]
For questions that utilize the concept of magnetic fields (commonly denoted by the letter B), or for questions whose answers likely involve magnetic fields. More specific than the [magnetism] tag, as questions about the phenomenon & theory of magnetism do not necessarily involve the discussion of fields.

3 magnetic scalar points along a 1D axis of 1m. Using interpolation, how many additional data points needed for certain accuracy (statistical errors)?
On outdoor magnetic field surveys we're using a two fluxgate (vertical magnetometer configuration), while walking, spacing 1m. Since we're quite unhappy with our results, we now want place more ...

Force acting on an infinite wire with current inside a magnetic medium
I've recently stumbled on an electromagnetics problem that I don't quite understand.
There is an infinite wire carrying current I that is placed inside a medium with magnetic permittivity μ1. At a ...

Displacement current and magnetic field in capacitor with dielectric
I have a capacitor with round plates of radius $r_{2}$ kept at a distance $d$, with a voltage $V\left(t\right) = V_{0} \cos \left(\omega t\right).$ Inside, there is cylindrical material with a certain ...

A question on modified flux function under perturbation [closed]
Given a magnetic field $\mathbf{B}=B_{0}\left(\dfrac{xz}{z_{s}^{2}},\dfrac{yz}{z_{s}^{2}}, 1-2\left( \dfrac{x^{2}}{r_{s}^{2}}+\dfrac{y^{2}}{r_{s}^{2}}\right) -\dfrac{z^{2}}{z_{s}^{2}}\right)$ with the ...

Visualizing or Interacting with the Higgs Field
I'm not a physicist, but I'm curious about how one could "see" or "interact" with the Higgs field in a visual way. For instance, placing ferrite dust on a table with some magnets ...

Length of helix in one time period [closed]
How to find the length of a helix in one time period?
In the case of a particle suspended at the origin and a magnetic field along the $y$ axis we know that the time period will be equal to $2\pi/aB$ ...

Linear approximation of the magnetic dipole field
Summary: using 3 angles to represent a magnetic dipole's orientation is redundant because the rotation around the $z$-axis of the dipole does not change the magnetic field, there are only 2 DOFs for ...

Why is flux of magnetic field always zero for closed surfaces?
I'm having troubles accepting that the magnetic flux through a closed surface is always zero. I understand the fact that no magnetic monopoles exist , therefore all the 'lines' of magnetic flux that ...

Orientation of Magnetic Induction of a Dipole Source in MEG
I am working with source-reconstructed MEG data, and what I would like to know is that
when we obtain the magnetic induction (using the right-hand thumb rule) of a dipole source, is it only the ...

Magnetic field in different frames
If I move at the same velocity as that of a charge Q, I wouldn't be able to feel its magnetic field because it is stationary with respect to me.
However, if I am to place a magnetic compass needle ...
