isodynamic
Definition
Adjective: - Physics: Relating to or denoting lines of equal magnetic force or intensity, especially in the context of the Earth's magnetic field. "Isodynamic" describes points or lines where the magnetic field strength is the same.
Usage Examples
- (Lines of equal magnetic force.)
- (Charts depicting equal magnetic strength.)
Advanced Usage
