Conversely, one can consider the flux the more fundamental quantity and call the vector field the flux density.
It is also possible to combine the electric displacement field D with the magnetic flux density B to get the Minkowski form of the Poynting vector, or use D and H to construct yet another version.
Given a flux according to the second definition, the corresponding flux density, if that term is used, refers to its derivative along the surface that was integrated.
In disagreement to the statement in the previous section, a measurement of the magnetic flux density very close to the magnet is related to by the formula : The effective magnetic dipole can be written as : Where is the volume of the magnet.
In this mode, the amount of thrust generated by a magnetic sail falls off with the square of its distance from the Sun as the flux density of charged particles reduces.
Magnetic flux The magnetic flux density ( magnetic field ) having the unit Wb/m 2 ( Tesla ) is denoted by B, and magnetic flux is defined analogously: : with the same notation above.
