What are Magnetic Plates? Types and Applications

Magnetic Plates are separators used to extract ferrous particles and small tramp iron, such as nuts, bolts, nails, bits of wire, etc. from free-flowing materials to protect the machinery from any potential damage. They help to enhance the production process by removing these particles. These plates can be installed in ducts, sputs, feed trays or … Read more

What is Biot Savart Law?

Biot Savart Law is used to determine the strength of the magnetic field at any point due to a current-carrying conductor. This law is given by two physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot and Felix Savart. Hence this law is known as Biot Savart Law. This law is of fundamental importance and can be verified experimentally. Consider a … Read more

What is Magnetic field intensity?

Magnetic field intensity is defined as the degree to which the magnetising field can magnetise a material. The magnetic field which magnetises a material placed in it is known as the magnetising field. Magnetic field intensity is denoted by ‘H‘ and also known as intensity of magnetising field or magnetising force. Magnetic field intensity (H) … Read more

What is Magnetic flux density?

Magnetic flux density is defined as the number of magnetic lines of force passing normally through a unit area of a substance. It is denoted by B. The S.I. unit of magnetic flux density is Tesla (T). It is a vector quantity. The CGS unit of magnetic flux density is gauss (G). Consider a surface … Read more

What is Magnetic flux?

Magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic lines of force passing normally through a surface. It is denoted by symbol Φ (phi). The S.I. unit of magnetic flux is weber (Wb). It is a scalar quantity. The CGS unit of magnetic flux is maxwell. Consider a surface having area, A in the magnetic … Read more

What is Magnetic field?

A magnetic field is a space around a magnet or a current-carrying wire within which its magnetic effects can be experienced. The magnetic effects are commonly seen in permanent magnets, electromagnets, etc. These magnets can pull or attract magnetic materials like iron and attract or repel other magnets due to its magnetic field. A magnetic … Read more

What are Magnetic lines of force?

Magnetic lines of force are the imaginary lines that are used to illustrate and describe the pattern of the magnetic field. These lines travel from the north pole to south pole outside the magnet body. These lines travel from the south pole to north pole inside the magnet body. A magnetic field is represented with … Read more
