magnetic flux

Noun
  1. A measure of the strength of a magnetic field over a given area (synset 113620973)
    is a type of: magnetisation, magnetization - the extent or degree to which something is magnetized
    subtypes: flux unit, magnetic flux unit - a measure of the strength of a magnetic field per unit area
  2. The lines of force surrounding a permanent magnet or a moving charged particle (synset 111497784)
    is a type of: field, field of force, force field - the space around a radiating body within which its electromagnetic oscillations can exert force on another similar body not in contact with it
    subtypes:
    • magnetosphere - the magnetic field of a planet; the volume around the planet in which charged particles are subject more to the planet's magnetic field than to the solar magnetic field
    • solar magnetic field - the magnetic field of the sun
    same as: flux, magnetic field
