Can anyone explain the difference between the B magnetic field and the H one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The H is the magnitude of the magnetic field, and the B is the so called induction. H is the magnetic FIELD density, and B the magnetic FLUX density.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Materials such as iron are good conductors of magnetic flux, so the magnetic flux density is higher within the conductor than in the free space around it. H the magnetic field intensity gives an idea of the magnetic influence due to a source regardless of the medium. \[H=B/\mu\] where \[\mu\] is \[\mu _{o}\mu _{r}\] the permeability of free space multiplied by the relative permeability.

ok...lets see ... There are 2 kinds of magnetic fields inside and outside magnetic force B=measured in teslas H=ampere-turn in a vacuum they are indistinguishable inside a material they are distinguishable obviously there are other types d, h, b but as an example.....here it is..
