conservative force, in physics, any force, such as the gravitational force between Earth and another mass, whose work is determined only by the final displacement of the object acted upon. The total work done by a conservative force is independent of the path resulting in a given displacement ...
(General Physics) a field of force surrounding a permanent magnet or a moving charged particle, in which another permanent magnet or moving charge experiences a force.

In subject area:Physics and Astronomy Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) is a method used to study surface magnetic properties at a high resolution. It involves scanning a sharp magnetized tip over a magnetic sample and detecting the magnetic interactions between the tip and the sample to reconstruct...
If the magnetic susceptibility χ is positive, the force is in the direction of increasing field strength, whereas if χ is negative, it is in the direction of decreasing field strength. Measurement of the force F in a known field H with a known gradient dH/dx is the basis of a number...
Matthew has a Master of Arts degree in Physics Education. He has taught high school chemistry and physics for 14 years. View bio Learn the magnetic force formula, learn how to determine the magnetic force direction, understand the magnetic field equations, and discover the relationship between...
Figure 2. A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the page in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular into the page (represented by the small circles with x’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, an...
JERRY B. MARION, in Physics in the Modern World (Second Edition), 1981 Magnetic Field Strength The strength of an electric field is defined in terms of the force that is exerted on a charged particle in that field. We use the same procedure for defining the strength of a magnetic field....
Is gravity an applied force in physics? An ion having charge +6e is traveling horizontally to the left at 7.50 km/s when it enters a magnetic field that is perpendicular to its velocity and deflects it downward with an initial magnetic force of 6.44 x 10-15 N. ...
1.(General Physics) either of two regions in a magnet where the magnetic induction is concentrated 2.(Physical Geography) either of two variable points on the earth's surface towards which a magnetic needle points, where the lines of force of the earth's magnetic field are vertical ...
