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.
