  2. Permeability of soils - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_of_soils

    Soil aeration maintains oxygen levels in the plants' root zone, needed for microbial and root respiration, and important to plant growth. Additionally, oxygen levels regulate soil temperatures and play a role in some chemical processes that support the oxidation of elements like Mn 2+ and Fe 2+ that can be toxic.

  3. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, 4% electrical steel has an initial relative permeability (at or near 0 T) of 2,000 and a maximum of 38,000 at T = 1 [5] [6] and different range of values at different percent of Si and manufacturing process, and, indeed, the relative permeability of any material at a sufficiently high field strength trends toward 1 (at magnetic ...

  4. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    The magnitude of the current in a given loop is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the area of the loop, and the rate of change of flux, and inversely proportional to the resistivity of the material. When graphed, these circular currents within a piece of metal look vaguely like eddies or whirlpools in a liquid.

  5. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    A core of ferromagnetic material like iron serves to increase the magnetic field created. [1] The strength of the magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding. [1] An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.

  6. Electromagnetic suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_suspension

    Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by constantly altering the strength of a magnetic field produced by electromagnets using a feedback loop. In most cases the levitation effect is mostly due to permanent magnets as they have no power dissipation, with electromagnets only used to stabilise the effect.

  7. Penetration depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_depth

    The penetration depth of X-rays in water as function of photon energy.. Penetration depth is a measure of how deep light or any electromagnetic radiation can penetrate into a material.

  8. Magnetic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_pressure

    If an electric current passes through the loop, the wire serves as an electromagnet, such that the magnetic field strength inside the loop is much greater than the field strength just outside the loop. This gradient in field strength gives rise to a magnetic pressure force that tends to stretch the wire uniformly outward.

  9. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.
