magnetic pressure comparison table

Subject is a kind of has definition

pressure quantity The force exerted over a surface divided by its area.

magnetic pressure pressure 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.
