Field Intensity (Noun)
Meaning
The vector sum of all the forces exerted by an electrical or magnetic field (on a unit mass or unit charge or unit magnetic pole) at a given point in the field.
Classification
Nouns denoting attributes of people and objects.
Examples
- The field intensity is directly proportional to the square of the distance from the charge.
- Researchers calculated the field intensity around the coil by integrating the forces on the current loop.
- Understanding field intensity is crucial for the design of electric motors and generators.
- Electromagnetic field intensity affects the trajectory of charged particles in high-energy collisions.
- The strength of the magnetic field intensity determines the performance of an MRI scanner.
