Examples of phenomenal field in the following topics:

  • Rogers' Humanistic Theory of Personality

    • Rogers advanced the field by stressing that the human person is an active, creative, experiencing being who lives in the present and subjectively responds to current perceptions, relationships, and encounters.
    • A person reacts to changes in their phenomenal field, which includes external objects and people as well as internal thoughts and emotions.
    • The phenomenal field refers to a person's subjective reality, which includes external objects and people as well as internal thoughts and emotions.
    • The person's motivations and environments both act on their phenomenal field.
  • Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective on Personality

    • Personality development is thought to be based on interactions in the phenomenal field or social and physical environment.
    • The inclusion of the subjective field of reality allows for variation among people who would otherwise act or behave similarly.
  • Magnetic Field Lines

    • Magnetic field lines are useful for visually representing the strength and direction of the magnetic field.
    • The magnetic field is traditionally called the B-field.
    • The direction of the magnetic field is tangent to the field line at any point in space.
    • Magnetic field lines can never cross, meaning that the field is unique at any point in space.
    • Relate the strength of the magnetic field with the density of the magnetic field lines
  • Mediterranean Trade and European Expansion

    • The silk and spice trade, involving spices, incense, herbs, drugs, and opium, made these Mediterranean city-states phenomenally rich.
  • Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism

    • Paramagnetism is the attraction of material while in a magnetic field, and diamagnetism is the repulsion of magnetic fields.
    • The magnetic moment induced by the applied field is linear in the field strength; it is also rather weak.
    • When a magnetic field is applied, the dipoles will tend to align with the applied field, resulting in a net magnetic moment in the direction of the applied field.
    • Diamagnetism is the property of an object or material that causes it to create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field.
    • The eddy currents then produce an induced magnetic field opposite the applied field, resisting the conductor's motion.
  • Neural Underpinnings of Consciousness

    • Scientists believe it may be the case that every phenomenal, subjective state has its own neural correlate.
    • Consciousness can also be phenomenal, such as our experiences in real time, or access, such as recalling a state of being or feeling.
  • Electric Field Lines: Multiple Charges

    • Electric fields created by multiple charges interact as do any other type of vector field; their forces can be summed.
    • Each will have its own electric field, and the two fields will interact.
    • The strength of the electric field depends proportionally upon the separation of the field lines.
    • More field lines per unit area perpendicular to the lines means a stronger field.
    • It should also be noted that at any point, the direction of the electric field will be tangent to the field line.
  • Uniform Electric Field

    • An electric field that is uniform is one that reaches the unattainable consistency of being constant throughout.
    • A uniform field is that in which the electric field is constant throughout.
    • Equations involving non-uniform electric fields require use of differential calculus.
    • In uniform fields it is also simple to relate ∆V to field strength and distance (d) between points A and B:
    • In this image, Work (W), field strength (E), and potential difference (∆V) are defined for points A and B within the constructs of a uniform potential field between the positive and negative plates.
  • Helical Motion

    • What if the velocity is not perpendicular to the magnetic field?
    • The component of the velocity parallel to the field is unaffected, since the magnetic force is zero for motion parallel to the field.
    • shows how electrons not moving perpendicular to magnetic field lines follow the field lines.
    • If field strength increases in the direction of motion, the field will exert a force to slow the charges (and even reverse their direction), forming a kind of magnetic mirror.
    • When a charged particle moves along a magnetic field line into a region where the field becomes stronger, the particle experiences a force that reduces the component of velocity parallel to the field.
  • Electric vs. Magnetic Forces

    • A consequence of this is that the electric field may do work and a charge in a pure electric field will follow the tangent of an electric field line.
    • where B is the magnetic field vector, v is the velocity of the particle and θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the particle velocity.
    • The angle dependence of the magnetic field also causes charged particles to move perpendicular to the magnetic field lines in a circular or helical fashion, while a particle in an electric field will move in a straight line along an electric field line.
    • The electric field is directed tangent to the field lines.
    • Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges.
