MagneticFieldStrength¶
Type: | 1-Tensor, or section |
---|---|
Range: | [v_1, …, v_3] |
Default: | -/- |
Appearance: | optional |
Specifies the magnetic field strength, , also called magnetic field or magnetic field intensity. Units are ampere per meter,
A constant magnetic field strength can be defined by assigning a 3-vector:
# define a constant magnetic field strength
MagneticFieldStrength = [..., ... , ...]
For more general cases, a magnetic field strength may be given as a section in order to deal with space, time, and parameter dependent definitions:
# define an magnetic field strength as a section
MagneticFieldStrength {
PlaneWave {...}
Python {...}
...
}
Field definitions within this section are summed up. Consult the subsequent sections to see which types of field definitions are allowed.
Note
Setting a magnetic field strength will implicitly define a consistent electric field as follows from Maxwell’s equations whenever the electric field is not explicitly specified. Conversely, setting a electric field will yield a magnetic field, when not specified otherwise.
