Ship’s Induced Magnetic field

Degaussing coils

Permanent magnetic field components of ship

The potency of a magnetic field is measured in terms of Gauss. And therefore, by definition, degausse means to reduce/eliminate the strength of the magnetic field. Degaussing coils are used to reduce the effect of Earth magnetic field on the ship’s magnetic field. A magnetic mine is activated when the earth’s magnetic field is distorted […]

Ship’s induced magnetism

The magnetic field induced in the floating structure is dependent on the potency of the Earth’s magnetic field and the layout and direction of floating structure w.r.t. the Earth’s magnetic field. As discussed earlier, The ship’s induced magnetism is also a cause of the ship’s magnetic field just like the ship’s permanent magnetism. Ships are […]
