Main article: Magnetic field
The magnetic field (usually denoted B) is a vector field. The magnetic field vector at a given point in space is specified by two properties:
1.Its direction, which is along the orientation of a compass needle.
2.Its magnitude (also called strength), which is proportional to how strongly the compass needle orients along that direction.
In SI units, the strength of the magnetic field is given in teslas.
