:Yes, I know that people use it interchangeably, but strictly speaking '''B''' (magnetic induction) is not the same as '''H'''. The magnetization of the medium depending on permeability tensor makes the difference. I plan to write about '''B''' soon. I don't know what you mean by F = E x B, is it the propagation vector of an electromagnetic wave?--[[User:Paul Wormer|Paul Wormer]] 10:47, 20 May 2008 (CDT) | |||
Yes, the equation, or something similar, from EM propogation. We always use B<sub>0</sub> in NMR spectroscopy to refer to the magnetic field of our electomagnets, which is created from a large, 200 Amp or more, electric current. [[User:David E. Volk|David E. Volk]] 14:30, 20 May 2008 (CDT) | |||
