Magnetic Flux Density
Contents
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Magnetic flux density is the strength of a magnetic field.
About Magnetic Flux Density
- The SI Unit of magnetic flux density is the Tesla (T).
- Magnetic flux density is greatest at the poles of a magnet.
Examples
The magnetic flux density is greatest at the poles of this bar magnet. | The magnetic flux density is the same everywhere in a uniform magnetic field. | The magnetic flux density between two magnets depends on the distance between those magnets. The smaller the distance the greater the magnetic flux density. |
