What is the magnitude of the electric field, given the energy density?

Question by Flopsy: What is the magnitude of the electric field, given the energy density? In the Alcator fusion experiment at MIT, a magnetic field of 50.0 T is produced. The magnetic energy density is 9.95×10^8 J/m^3. What is the magnitude of the electric field that would have the same energy density? Best answer: Answer …

How much energy does the earth generate to make the geo-magnetic field?

Question by darkpheonix262: How much energy does the earth generate to make the geo-magnetic field? Best answer: Answer by clarbellIt does not take any energy to make a magnetic field. Electrons in motion create a magnetic field and they, of course, have energy. But the magnetic field that they produce comes for free. What do …
