1. In physics and engineering, a magnetic or electric field that extends beyond the intended region, typically considered undesirable
The stray field from the electromagnet interfered with nearby sensitive instruments.
O campo disperso do eletroímã interferiu nos instrumentos sensíveis próximos.
2. An unwanted electromagnetic field that escapes from a device or system
Engineers worked to minimize stray fields in the MRI machine.
Os engenheiros trabalharam para minimizar os campos dispersos na máquina de ressonância magnética.
