magnetic pressure

subject fact

magnetic pressure has definition The pressure exerted by a magnetic field on the material that contains the field. in gaussian units it is given by p_m = b² / 8π, where b is the magnetic field strength. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:33:13.0
