magnetic flux density
Let an agent explain magnetic flux density, relay its definition, units, critical fields and applications from physics sources, describe the named values, route strong-field safety, and distinguish it from magnetic field strength H, magnetic flux, magnetisation and the magnetic moment.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain magnetic flux density, relay its definition, units, critical fields and applications from physics sources, describe the named values, route strong-field safety, and distinguish it from magnetic field strength H, magnetic flux, magnetisation and the magnetic moment.
A physical quantity, also called magnetic flux density or magnetic B-field, that measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field as force per unit current per unit length, measured in teslas in the SI, with special values the registry aliases name such as the thermodynamic critical field and the lower and upper critical fields of superconductors; magnetic flux density is a vector, distinct from the magnetic field strength H and from magnetic flux, and it underlies electromagnets, MRI, motors and magnetic storage. Strong magnetic fields around MRI and industrial magnets are a safety hazard, so warnings and exclusion zones apply.
What it is for: Measuring magnetic field strength and direction.
It can be explain the quantity and units; relay critical fields; relay applications; route strong-field safety.
Distinguishing features
Force per current-length
Vector in teslas
Distinct from H and flux
Critical fields in superconductors
What it looks like
Not a physical object; a vector value in teslas, visualised by field lines.
Physical character
SI unit: tesla unit
symbol: B symbol
registry parents: physical quantity, vector quantity note
How it is recognised
Vector measure of magnetic field strength
Thermodynamic critical magnetic flux density, lower and upper critical magnetic flux density
Magnetic field strength H is a related field; magnetic flux is the total through an area; magnetisation is per volume; the magnetic moment is a source property
