magnetic field strength
- noun
- /mæɡˈnɛtɪk fiːld strɛŋkθ/
- Specialized
- Its radius, surface gravity, chemical composition, magnetic field strength, and other physical attributes are derivable from the measured flux and spectrum.
Examples
-
Secondly, the intercept of the mean magnetic field strength with this 1500 Gauss threshold does not imply that all sunspots will disappear by the year 2021; rather, it implies that half of the sunspots that would normally appear on the surface of the Sun would be visible.

Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'magnetic' (relating to magnetism) + 'field' (a region of force) + 'strength' (degree or intensity) combine to mean the intensity of a magnetic field. This noun–noun construction follows standard English and cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can reliably infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term magnetic field strength paints a picture of invisible lines around a magnet: the magnetic field is the area of those lines and the strength is how many of them pass through a small area. So it means how strong the magnet's field is at a point, because more lines through the area show more 'strength'.
