Magnetic Properties
- Magnetic moment: A measure of the strength and orientation of a magnetic field, represented by a vector that characterizes the magnetic field's magnitude and direction.
- Magnetic susceptibility: A measure of how much a material is magnetized in response to an external magnetic field, indicating the degree to which a material is affected by a magnetic field.
- Inclination: The angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizontal plane, used to describe the orientation of the magnetic field at a specific location.
Magnetic Field
- Magnetization: The process of creating a magnetic field within a material, resulting from the alignment of magnetic dipoles in the material.
- Dipole field: A type of magnetic field that consists of two poles, north and south, and is characterized by a vector field that emerges from the north pole and enters the south pole.
