Detailed Description

Abstract base class for all magnetic field sources.

MagneticSource defines the interface for any object that produces a magnetic field. Subclasses represent specific sources such as:

• Current-carrying wire segments
• Magnetic dipoles
• Solenoids
• Permanent magnets

Example: class MagneticDipole : public MagneticSource { [[nodiscard]] Vector3<Quantity<Tesla>> GetMagneticFieldAt(const Vector3<Quantity<Meter>>& point) const override { // Compute dipole field at point return B; } };

Definition at line 27 of file MagneticSource.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

GetMagneticFieldAt()

virtual Vector3< Quantity< Tesla > > Phyth::Electromagnetics::MagneticSource::GetMagneticFieldAt ( const Vector3< Quantity< Meter > > &  point ) const

pure virtual

Compute the magnetic field at a point in space.

Parameters

point

Position in 3D space (meters)

Returns

Magnetic flux density B (Tesla) as a Vector3

Subclasses must implement this method according to their specific geometry and current distribution.

Note

: Some sources have singularities at certain locations (e.g., on the wire axis). Subclasses should document these edge cases.

Implemented in Phyth::Electromagnetics::CurrentSegment, Phyth::Electromagnetics::MagneticDipole, and Phyth::Electromagnetics::PointCharge.
