Field strength
field strength
Noun
1. the vector sum of all the forces exerted by an electrical or magnetic field (on a unit mass or unit charge or unit magnetic pole) at a given point in the field
(synonym) field intensity
(hypernym) intensity, strength, intensity level
(hyponym) magnetic field strength, magnetic intensity, magnetic induction, magnetic flux density
field strength
The magnitude of an electric, magnetic, or electromagnetic
field at a given point. (
188 ) Note: The field strength of an
electromagnetic wave is usually expressed as the rms value of the
electric field, in volts per meter. The field strength of a magnetic field is usually expressed in ampere-turns per meter or in oersteds. Synonym
radio field intensity.
