Magnetic field

CP 1: Magnetic flux density, flux and flux linkage

magnetic flux density (B) of a magnetic field

is a measure of the strength of the field, and it is measured in the

unit Tesla.

Magnetic flux (φ) is a value

magnetic field or magnetic field lines passing through a given area

calculated by finding the product of magnetic flux density and the
given area, when the field is perpendicular to the area:
Φ = BA
However,

Example:

Magnetic flux linkage (Nφ) is the magnetic flux multiplied by the

number of turns N, of a coil

CP 3.1 Current carrying conductors in a magnetic field

When current passes through a wire, a magnetic field is induced

this is true for any long, straight current-carrying conductor.

The field lines of the induced magnetic field form concentric rings
around the wire.
