Variables
Mmagnetization (A/m)
mtotal magnetic moment (A·m²)
Vmaterial volume (m³)
Description
What is this formula?
This formula calculates the magnetization of a material from its magnetic moment distributed over a given volume. Magnetization measures the magnetic dipole moment density inside the material.
When to use it
Use this equation when studying magnetic materials, ferromagnetism, magnetic domains, and electromagnetic material properties.
Example
A magnetic sample has a total magnetic moment of 0.18 A·m² distributed over a volume of 0.004 m³. Calculate the magnetization.
Data:
m = 0.18 A·m²
V = 0.004 m³
Formula:
M = m/V
Substitution:
M = 0.18/0.004
Result:
M = 45 A/m
