Summary

DescriptionBIsAPseudovector.svg	English: Diagram demonstrating the fact that magnetic field is a pseudovector. A loop of wire (black), carrying a current, creates a magnetic field (blue). When the wire is reflected in a mirror (dashed line), the magnetic field is not reflected in the mirror: Instead, it is reflected and reversed. The position of the wire and its current are vectors, but the magnetic field is a pseudovector.

	16:32, 7 March 2010	520 × 300 (4 KB)	Quibik (talk \| contribs)	Tweaked vector sign positions. Cleaned up small-scale imperfections in all arrowheads.

	00:21, 9 January 2010	520 × 300 (6 KB)	Quibik (talk \| contribs)	Adjusted arrow positions a bit.
	00:15, 9 January 2010	520 × 300 (6 KB)	Quibik (talk \| contribs)	Added arrows above vector signs.
