magnetic field
(redirected from magnetic flux density)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.07 sec.

magnetic field

Region around a magnet, electric current, or changing electric field in which magnetic forces are observable. The field around a permanent magnet or wire carrying a steady direct current is stationary, while that around an alternating current or changing direct current is continuously changing. Magnetic fields are commonly represented by continuous lines of force, or magnetic flux, that emerge from north-seeking magnetic poles and enter south-seeking poles. The density of the lines indicates the magnitude of the field, the lines being crowded together where the magnetic field is strong. The SI unit for magnetic flux is the weber.


An invisible energy emitted by a magnet. Same as flux.

Key statement: The elastomeric parts have a magnetic flux density of at least 10 gauss on their surface and deflect a portion of reactive plasmas from contact with the surface of the parts.
The device was mounted on a sample holder within a variable temperature insert (VTI) at the center of a super-conducting magnet, with a maximum applied magnetic flux density of 16 T.
The magnetic field during exposure was monitored by input current to the Helmholtz coils and measuring the magnetic flux density with an EMDEX II magnetic field survey meter (Enertech, Campbell, CA).
