Easting component of the magnetic field due to a dipole

Returns the easting component of the magnetic field by a single dipole on a single computation point

Parameters

  • easting_p (float) – Easting coordinate of the observation point in meters.

  • northing_p (float) – Northing coordinate of the observation point in meters.

  • upward_p (float) – Upward coordinate of the observation point in meters.

  • easting_q (float) – Easting coordinate of the dipole in meters.

  • northing_q (float) – Northing coordinate of the dipole in meters.

  • upward_q (float) – Upward coordinate of the dipole in meters.

  • magnetic_moment_east (float) – The East component of the magnetic moment vector of the dipole. Must be in \(A m^2\).

  • magnetic_moment_north (float) – The North component of the magnetic moment vector of the dipole. Must be in \(A m^2\).

  • magnetic_moment_up (float) – The upward component of the magnetic moment vector of the dipole. Must be in \(A m^2\).

Returns

b_e (float) – Easting component of the magnetic field generated by the dipole on the observation point in \(\text{T}\).

Notes

Returns the easting component \(B_x(\mathbf{p})\) of the magnetic field \(\mathbf{B}\) on the observation point \(\mathbf{p} = (x_p, y_p, z_p)\) generated by a single dipole located in \(\mathbf{q} = (x_q, y_q, z_q)\) and magnetic moment \(\mathbf{m}=(m_x, m_y, m_z)\).

\[B_x(\mathbf{p}) = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \left[ \frac{ 3 (\mathbf{m} \cdot \mathbf{r}) x }{ \lVert r \rVert^5 } - \frac{ m_x }{ \lVert r \rVert^3 } \right]\]

where \(\mathbf{r} = \mathbf{p} - \mathbf{q}\), \(\lVert \cdot \rVert\) refer to the \(L_2\) norm and \(\mu_0\) is the vacuum magnetic permeability.
