  2. Magnetic reluctance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_reluctance

    Magnetic reluctance in a magnetic circuit is analogous to electrical resistance in an electrical circuit in that resistance is a measure of the opposition to the electric current. The definition of magnetic reluctance is analogous to Ohm's law in this respect. However, magnetic flux passing through a reluctance does not give rise to dissipation ...

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    Scientists. v. t. e. In electromagnetism, permeability is the measure of magnetization produced in a material in response to an applied magnetic field. Permeability is typically represented by the (italicized) Greek letter μ. It is the ratio of the magnetic induction to the magnetizing field as a function of the field in a material.

  4. Magnetic circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_circuit

    It is the sum of the length Lcore in the iron core pieces and the length Lgap in the air gaps G. A magnetic circuit is made up of one or more closed loop paths containing a magnetic flux. The flux is usually generated by permanent magnets or electromagnets and confined to the path by magnetic cores consisting of ferromagnetic materials like ...

  5. Magnetomotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetomotive_force

    t. e. In physics, the magnetomotive force (abbreviated mmf or MMF, symbol ) is a quantity appearing in the equation for the magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit, Hopkinson's law. [1] It is the property of certain substances or phenomena that give rise to magnetic fields: where Φ is the magnetic flux and is the reluctance of the circuit.

  6. Permeance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeance

    In electromagnetism, permeance is the inverse of reluctance.In a magnetic circuit, permeance is a measure of the quantity of magnetic flux for a number of current-turns. A magnetic circuit almost acts as though the flux is conducted, therefore permeance is larger for large cross-sections of a material and smaller for smaller cross section lengths.

  7. Reciprocity (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocity_(electromagnetism)

    In classical electromagnetism, reciprocity refers to a variety of related theorems involving the interchange of time- harmonic electric current densities (sources) and the resulting electromagnetic fields in Maxwell's equations for time-invariant linear media under certain constraints. Reciprocity is closely related to the concept of symmetric ...

  8. Electromagnetic coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil

    Electromagnetic coil. The magnetic field lines (green) of a current-carrying loop of wire pass through the center of the loop, concentrating the field there. An electromagnetic coil is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil (spiral or helix). [1][2] Electromagnetic coils are used in electrical engineering, in applications ...

  9. Gyrator–capacitor model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrator–capacitor_model

    R is the reluctance of the physical magnetic circuit. The gyrator–capacitor model [1] - sometimes also the capacitor-permeance model [2] - is a lumped-element model for magnetic circuits, that can be used in place of the more common resistance–reluctance model. The model makes permeance elements analogous to electrical capacitance ( see ...
