SOMETHING RELATED TO MAGNETISM
Considering the number of queries received, we would like to
summarize some concepts related to magnetism and its effects on
fluids.
We shall refer to the origins of the Study on magnetism. In
1819, Oersted introduced evidence to show the magnetic effects
of the electric current. Later, Michael Faraday showed that
although the magnetic effect may vary, all substances are
magnetic. Then, Johannes Van der Waals showed that the
electrones of substances in liquid or gas state can be affected
by an external magnetic field. Those findings helped to
understand the effects of an external magnetic field on
hydrocarbons.
Magnetic field Gauss measurement. What is usually measured is
the magnetic flux, represented in flux "lines" per unit area. A
gauss is defined as a flux "line" per square cm..
The quality of our neodymium magnets is measured in gauss using
gaussmeters.
