Magnetic permeability relation

Relates the magnetic flux density inside a material to the magnetic field strength through the material's permeability. It is used for linear magnetic materials to find the flux density produced by a given field strength.

\boldsymbol{B} = \mu \boldsymbol{H}

What the symbols mean

magnetic flux density (tesla, T)
magnetic permeability of the material (henry per metre, H/m)
magnetic field strength (ampere per metre, A/m)
