Examples
- The engineer carefully measured the field strength of the magnetic field to ensure it was within the required specifications for the experiment.
- The physicist calculated the field strength of the electric field surrounding the charged particle to determine its trajectory.
- The field strength of the magnetic field varied significantly across the surface of the magnet, requiring careful calibration of the instrument.
- To determine the field strength of the gravitational field, the researchers used a highly sensitive gravimeter to measure the tiny variations in the gravitational force.
- The field strength of the electromagnetic field emitted by the antenna was strong enough to penetrate the walls of the building and provide a reliable signal.
