field strength
Noun: 1. The magnitude of a field (especially electromagnetic) at a given point: A quantitative measure of the intensity of a force field, such as an electric or magnetic field, at a specific location. It is often represented as a vector, indicating both strength and direction. 2. (Physics) The vector sum of forces exerted by a field on a unit quantity: Specifically, the force experienced per unit charge, unit mass, or unit magnetic pole placed within the field.
- Noun:
- The field strength of the radio signal decreases rapidly with distance from the transmitter.
- Scientists measured the magnetic field strength at the Earth's poles.
- A higher electric field strength is required to cause electrical breakdown in that insulating material.
"Field strength meter": A device used to measure the intensity of a radio frequency field.
- The technician used a field strength meter to optimize the antenna's broadcast range.
"Peak field strength": The maximum instantaneous value of the field intensity.
- The design must account for the peak field strength during a lightning strike.
Field intensity (n): A synonymous term for field strength, often used interchangeably.
- The field intensity of the magnet was mapped across the surface.
Magnetic flux density (n): A related but distinct measure for magnetic fields, measured in tesla.
- Electric field intensity (n): The electric force per unit charge, measured in volts per meter.
- Field intensity
- Field force
- Signal strength: Often used in telecommunications to describe the power of a received signal, which is related to the electromagnetic field strength at the receiver.
- The signal strength on my phone is very low in this valley.
- the vector sum of all the forces exerted by an electrical or magnetic field (on a unit mass or unit charge or unit magnetic pole) at a given point in the field
