Magnetic dipole magnetic dipole as the distance from the source increases. In classical physics, the magnetic field of a dipole is calculated as the limit of either a current loop or a pair of charges as the source shrinks to a point while keeping the magnetic moment constant. For the current loop, this limit is most easily derived for the vector potential. Outside of the source region, this potential is (in SI units) with 4"π r" being the surface of a sphere of radius "r"; and the magnetic flux density (strength of the B-field) in teslas is In spherical coordinates with the
Spectral flux density 1 MW m), W·m·Hz, Jansky or solar flux units. The terms irradiance, radiant exitance, radiant emittance, and radiosity are closely related to spectral flux density. The terms used to describe spectral flux density vary between fields, sometimes including adjectives such as "electromagnetic" or "radiative", and sometimes dropping the word "density". Applications include: For the flux density received from a remote unresolvable "point source", the measuring instrument, usually telescopic, though not able to resolve any detail of the source itself, must be able to optically resolve enough details of the sky around the point source, so as to record radiation coming
