Magnetization is the vector field that expresses the density of permanent or induced magnetic dipole moments in a magnetic material. It is a measure of how much a material will become magnetized in an external magnetic field and is crucial in determining the magnetic properties of materials.

Magnetization

A vector field is a mathematical construct where each point in a space is associated with a vector, often used to represent physical quantities like velocity or force fields. It is fundamental in fields such as physics and engineering for modeling and understanding dynamic systems and spatial variations of vector quantities.

An external magnetic field is a magnetic field that is applied to a system from an outside source, influencing the magnetic properties and behavior of materials within the field. This can affect phenomena such as magnetic resonance, magnetization, and electromagnetic induction, playing a critical role in various scientific and industrial applications.
