Magnetic Field

A magnetic field is created by a moving charge. Practical magnetic fields are created by Electron Current.

Danger

Magnetic fields are NOT Conservative.

  • Unlike Electric Field, which is just an inherent property of a charge
  • Magnetic interactions are understood in terms of Magnetic Poles: north and south
  • Magnetic Force similar to Electric Force is to the action of magnetic fields
  • Magnetic poles never occur in isolation. All magnets are dipoles, with two poles.
