Q: What is the magnetic field traditionally referred to as?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

22.3 Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Field Lines Einstein is said to have been fascinated by a compass as a child, perhaps musing on how the needle felt a force without direct physical contact. His ability to think deeply and clearly about action at a distance, particularly for gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces, later enabled him to create his revolutionary theory of relativity. Since magnetic forces act at a distance, we define a magnetic field to represent magnetic forces. The pictorial representation of magnetic field lines is very useful in visualizing the strength and direction of the magnetic field. As shown in Figure 22.15, the direction of magnetic field lines is defined to be the direction in which the north end of a compass needle points. The magnetic field is traditionally called the Bfield.

 Choices:

- m-field

- charged field

- spicule

- bfield


A:
bfield
