Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Force Magnetic Field Intensity often written as H p t is an isolated test pole The text uses F instead of H to represent magnetic field intensity, especially when referring to that of the Earth (F E ). Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships

Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography The fundamental magnetic element is a dipole or combination of one positive and one negative magnetic monopole. The characteristics of the magnetic field are derived from the combined effects of non-existent monopoles. Dipole Field Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships

Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Source of Protons and DC current source Proton precession generates an alternating current in the surrounding coil Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships

Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Proton precession frequency (f) is directly proportional to the main magnetic field intensity F and magnetic moment of the proton. L is the angular momentum of the proton and G is the gyromagnetic ratio which is a constant for all protons (G = M/L = /  sec). Hence -
