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
Radiant flux to measure: where < • > is the time-average. Radiant flux In radiometry, radiant flux or radiant power is the radiant energy emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time, and spectral flux or spectral power is the radiant flux per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. The SI unit of radiant flux is the watt (W), that is the joule per second () in SI base units, while that of spectral flux in frequency is the watt per hertz () and that of spectral flux in
