Electromagnetism Flashcards
1
Q
Magnetic Field
A
A magnetic field is a region in space in which a moving charge or a current-carrying conductor or any ferromagnetic object will experience a force when it is placed in it
2
Q
Magnetic Flux Density
A
The magnetic flux density of a magnetic field is numerically equal to the force per unit length of a long straight conductor carrying a unit current at right angles to a uniform magnetic field
3
Q
Tesla
A
One tesla is the uniform magnetic flux density which, acting normally to a long straight wire carrying a current of 1A, causes a force per unit length of 1Nm-1 on the wire
