For questions that utilize the concept of magnetic fields (commonly denoted by the letter B), or for questions whose answers likely involve magnetic fields. More specific than the [magnetism] tag, as questions about the phenomenon & theory of magnetism do not necessarily involve the discussion of fields.

Why isn't the magnetic field density zero here?

In my lecture notes for magnetostatics, my professor has this explanation of why H is not necessarily $0$ that I dont understand. $$\nabla \times \bf{H} = \bf{J} \\ \bf{J}=0 \Rightarrow \nabla \times …

Eelectric and magnetic field inside a conductor cavity

Assume we have an external field outside a conductor that has cavity inside. I know that E field is 0 inside that cavity for electrostatic and time varying case but I dont understand what happens to t …

Faraday's law. Why does the induced current flow this way?

We have this stationary loop in a time-varying B-field. The current I (in red) is induced by the changing field B(t). This current in turn induces a B field that opposes the changing field due to righ …

How is magnetic dipole "created"?

I know that the electric dipole can be created when the electron cloud is displaced realative to the nucleus. I am trying to draw parallel to this and to better understand this topic, so please help m …

Trouble with enterpreting Faraday's Law

$$ \nabla \times \textbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \textbf{B}}{\partial t} $$ My interpretation of this equation is that: A steady magnetic field will result in an electric field that is $0$. A varying ma …

Why is the curl of magnetic field $0$ outside the conductor and non-zero inside? [duplicate]

I dont understand why the magnetic field does not curl outside the cable, according to this example, since I would expect the magnetic field lines to go back on themselves around the cable like shown …

Is Earth's North pole actualy a South pole?

As far as I am concerned, the compass is facing along the magnetic field lines on the Earth's surface which in turn points towards the North pole by its design. But for a magnet, the field lines go fr …
