AIt is called the E-field
BIt is called the H-current
CIt is called the D-vector
DIt is called the B-field
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It is called the B-field
1. Magnetic forces act at a distance, so a field is defined to represent them.
2. That magnetic field is traditionally called the B-field.
3. The letter B is also the symbol used for magnetic field strength in the force equations.
