magnetic flux
Học thuậtThân thiện
Definition
- Noun:
- The lines of force surrounding a permanent magnet or a moving charged particle: This refers to the pattern of invisible magnetic field lines that emanate from a magnetic source, depicting the direction and shape of its magnetic influence.
- A measure of the strength of a magnetic field over a given area: This is a quantitative scalar physical quantity, representing the total magnetic field passing through a specified surface area.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- The iron filings revealed the magnetic flux pattern around the bar magnet.
- The engineer calculated the magnetic flux through the coil to determine the induced voltage.
Advanced Usage
- "Rate of change of magnetic flux": A key concept in electromagnetism, particularly in Faraday's Law of Induction, which states that a changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (EMF).
- The induced current is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
Variants and Related Words
- Magnetic flux density (B): Also called the magnetic field strength, it is the amount of magnetic flux per unit area. It is a vector quantity measured in teslas (T).
- The magnetic flux density inside the solenoid was very high.
- Flux linkage: The total magnetic flux linked with a coil, which is the product of the number of turns and the flux through each turn.
- Increasing the number of turns increases the flux linkage.
Synonyms
- Magnetic field lines (for the conceptual pattern).
- Magnetic field flux.
Related Phrases
- Magnetic flux conservation: In a closed surface, the net magnetic flux is always zero, a principle derived from Gauss's law for magnetism.
- The law of magnetic flux conservation implies there are no magnetic monopoles.
- To cut magnetic flux: Describes the motion of a conductor relative to magnetic field lines, which can induce a current.
- The moving wire cuts the magnetic flux, generating electricity.
