magnetic field strength
A vector quantity indicating the ability of a magnetic field to exert a force on moving electric charges. It is equal to the magnetic flux density divided by the magnetic permeability of the space where the field exists. It is measured in amperes per meter. Also called magnetic intensity. See more at magnetic flux density.
