where

B: B (T)
u: Magnetic energy density (J/m³)

Lecture brief

Historical brief

Coulomb, Gauss, Ampère, Faraday and Maxwell (1861–65) unified charge, current and light. The lab computes fields, induction, Poynting flux and the electromagnetic wave in SI. This sheet (EMG-32 — Magnetic energy density) is the form associated with Magnetic energy density. Working symbols: $B$ $\rightarrow$ $u$ . Linear-media magnetic energy. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

Purpose

Purpose: compute

u

from

B

in Electromagnetism via

u=B^2/(2\\mu_0)

Linear-media magnetic energy. Use it when a real electromagnetism question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

B = 0.200\,\mathrm{T}

, the governing relation

u=B^2/(2\\mu_0)

yields

u = 15915.964\,\mathrm{J/m^{3}}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
