Gently
tapping the paper then causes the filings take the shape the mag-
netic field surrounding the permanent magnet. The region space through which the influence magnet can
be detected called the magnetic field that magnet. Strong magnetic fields have high-flux
density.
Definition
The places magnetic material
where the lines flux are concen-
trated are called the magnetic poles. The symbol used for flux density and the unit flux
density the tesla (symbol T), commemorate the work the
Croatian-born American physicist Nikola Tesla (1857–1943).

These two statements are sometimes
called the‘first laws magnetism’and
are shown Fig.14. Lines magnetic flux travel along magnetic material and always
emerge out the ‘north pole’ end the magnet. The number lines magnetic flux within magnetic field a
measure the flux density.14.13
Magnetic fields around permanent magnet. Lines magnetic flux pass through space and non-magnetic
materials undisturbed. The places magnetic material where the lines flux are con-
centrated are called the magnetic poles. These two statements are
sometimes called the ‘first laws magnetism’ and are shown in
