Measuring Magnetic Fields

Measuring Magnetic Fields After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Determine how the direction and intensity of magnetic fields can be found. Describe how a field indicator and a Hall-effect meter work. Since it is impractical to measure the actual field strength within the material, all the devices measure the [...]

Circular Magnetic Fields: Distribution and Intensity

Circular Magnetic Fields: Distribution and Intensity After reading this section you will be able to do the following: Explain the distribution and intensity of magnetic fields around conductors Explain what the skin effect is As discussed previously, when current is passed through a solid conductor, a magnetic field forms in and around the conductor. The [...]
