Definitions

Electromagnetism Units

Symbol Units Name Definition
Flux A scalar value. The rate of transfer of energy (or another physical quantity) per unit area. <ref> Wiktionary - Flux </ref>
E VM Electric field (intensity/strength) The space surrounding an electric charge. It will exert a force on other electrically charged objects.
D CM2 Electric (flux density/displacement field) The amount of electric flux in a unit area perpendicular to the direction of electric field
H AM Magnetic field (intensity/strength) A magnetic field is a vector field which surrounds magnets and electric currents, and is detected by the force it exerts on moving electric charges and on magnetic materials. <ref> Magnetic field </ref>
B T=WM2 Magnetic (flux density/induction) The amount of magnetic flux in a unit area perpendicular to the direction of magnetic flow <ref> Magnetic flux density </ref>

Analogies between Electric & Magnetic Circuits

Electric Magnetic Notes
V=Edl F=Hdl
nVn=0=Edl Hdl=Ni=nHl+Ni=0 Kirchoff's voltage law, Ampere's law
nIn=0=SJdS BdS=0 Kirchoff's current law, The B-field has to go around in a loop
JdS=I BdS=Φ Magnetic flux, Phi
R=VI =FΦ=NiΦ Reluctance
I=VR=GV or J=σE B=μH Assumes linearity - exceptions: Hysterisis loop, etc
