Magnetic Induction
</dt>
A measure of the strength of a magnetic field existing within a magnetic
medium.
</dd>
The relation between the magnetic induction and magnetic field
intensity is such that the magnetic induction within a small mass of material
of magnetic permeability � is, except for possible hysteresis effects,
� times greater than the external magnetic field intenstiy. Whereas
magnetic field intensity is measured in oersteds,
magnetic induction is measured in gausses.
