Magnetic fields: The concept of magnetic fields, including their origin and behavior, and how they can be measured and manipulated.
Magnetic materials: The properties of different types of magnetic materials and how they can be used to create magnetic fields.
Magnetic forces: The forces that are exerted between magnets and magnetic materials, and how these forces can be calculated and used in engineering applications.
Magnetostatic equations: The equations that govern the behavior of magnetic fields in a static environment, including the laws of magnetic induction and the Biot-Savart law.
Magnetic circuits: The concept of magnetic circuits, including how magnetic fields flow through different types of materials, and how to calculate the magnetic flux and magnetic field strength within a circuit.
Magnetic field shielding: How to shield magnetic fields from interfering with other electronic devices or biological systems.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): How magnetic fields are used in medical imaging to create detailed images of the human body.
Applications of magnetostatics: Various engineering applications of magnetostatics, such as electric motors, generators, transformers, and magnetic storage devices.
Magnetic field measurement techniques: Different techniques for measuring magnetic fields, such as Hall effect sensors, magnetometers, and fluxgate magnetometers.
Maxwell's equations: The relationship between electric and magnetic fields, and how they interact in a dynamic environment, governed by Maxwell's equations.
Electromagnetic waves: The propagation of electromagnetic waves through space, including the use of antennas and waveguides to manipulate these waves in different ways.
Magnetic hysteresis: The phenomenon of hysteresis in magnetic materials, including how it affects the behavior of magnetic fields and the design of magnetic circuits.
Magnetic domain theory: The theory of magnetic domains within magnetic materials, including how they contribute to the overall behavior of the magnetic material.
Magnetization and demagnetization: How magnetic materials are magnetized and demagnetized, including the concept of coercivity and how it affects the performance of the material.
Magnetic levitation: The use of magnetic fields to suspend objects or vehicles in air, including how it is used in high-speed transportation systems.
Magnetic Field: Magnetostatics deals with the study of magnetic fields and their effects on charged particles.
Magnetic Forces: Magnetostatics also examines the forces that arise between magnetic fields and moving charged particles.
Magnetic Flux: Magnetostatics includes the study of magnetic flux, which is defined as the amount of magnetic field that passes through a given surface.
Magnetic Induction: Magnetostatics also looks at magnetic induction, which is the process by which a magnetic field produces an electric current in a conductor.
Biot-Savart Law: The Biot-Savart law is a fundamental law of magnetostatics that describes the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire.
Ampere's Law: Ampere's law is another fundamental law of magnetostatics that relates the magnetic field produced by a current to the current itself.
Magnetic Dipole Moment: Magnetostatics includes the study of magnetic dipole moments, which are the moments of a magnet that cause it to align with an external magnetic field.
Magnetic Materials: Magnetostatics also examines the different types of magnetic materials, such as ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, and diamagnetic materials.
Magnetization: Magnetostatics looks at magnetization, which is the process by which a material becomes magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.
Magnetic Hysteresis: Magnetostatics also includes the study of magnetic hysteresis, which is the phenomenon by which the magnetic properties of a material depend on its previous exposure to a magnetic field.
"Magnetostatics is the study of magnetic fields in systems where the currents are steady (not changing with time)."
"It is the magnetic analogue of electrostatics, where the charges are stationary."
"The magnetization need not be static..."
"...the equations of magnetostatics can be used to predict fast magnetic switching events that occur on time scales of nanoseconds or less."
"Magnetostatics is even a good approximation when the currents are not static – as long as the currents do not alternate rapidly."
"Magnetostatics is widely used in applications of micromagnetics such as models of magnetic storage devices as in computer memory."
