Magnetic Field Intensity
The force experienced by the magnetic charge inside the magnetic field of the other magnet is defined as the magnetic field intensity. Vector H is used to represent the magnetic field intensity.
It is given by the formula
H = B/μ – M
where,
B is the magnetic flux density
M is the magnetization
μ is the magnetic permeability
SI unit for measuring the magnetic field intensity is Tesla. One tesla is defined as the magnetic field generating one newton of force per ampere of current per metre of conductor. It can also be measured in ampere/meter.
Magnetic Field Strength
Magnetic field is defined as the region around a magnet which influences the other magnets. i.e. If we place a test magnet near a powerful magnet it experiences some force due to the powerful magnet the region close to the powerful magnet is called the magnetic field of the magnet. It is similar to the electric field of the charged particle and is represented by the magnetic field lines. The denser the magnetic field lines the higher the strength of the magnetic field.
