    Study Notes

    Magnetic Circuit

    Magnetomotive Force (MMF)

    • The magnetic equivalent of electromotive force (EMF) in electric circuits
    • Measured in ampere-turns (At)
    • Defined as the product of the number of turns of a coil (N) and the current flowing through it (I)
    • MMF = N × I (At)
    • Unit of measurement: ampere-turn (At)

    Reluctance (R)

    • The opposition to the establishment of a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit
    • Analogous to resistance in electric circuits
    • Measured in ampere-turns per weber (At/Wb)
    • Reluctance is inversely proportional to the permeability of the material
    • R = l / (μ × A) (At/Wb)
      • l: length of the magnetic circuit (m)
      • μ: permeability of the material (H/m)
      • A: cross-sectional area of the magnetic circuit (m²)

    Permeability (μ)

    • The ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field
    • Measured in henries per meter (H/m)
    • Depends on the material and its magnetic properties
    • Higher permeability means a material is more easily magnetized
    • μ = μ₀ × μr (H/m)
      • μ₀: permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m)
      • μr: relative permeability of the material (unitless)

    Magnetic Flux (Φ)

    • The amount of magnetic field that passes through a given area
    • Measured in webers (Wb)
    • Defined as the product of the magnetic field strength (B) and the area (A) through which it passes
    • Φ = B × A (Wb)
    • Unit of measurement: weber (Wb)

    Magnetic Circuit

    Magnetomotive Force (MMF)

    • Defined as the product of the number of turns of a coil (N) and the current flowing through it (I)
    • Measured in ampere-turns (At)
    • MMF = N × I (At)
    • Unit of measurement: ampere-turn (At)
    • Analogous to electromotive force (EMF) in electric circuits

    Reluctance (R)

    • Opposition to the establishment of a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit
    • Measured in ampere-turns per weber (At/Wb)
    • Inversely proportional to the permeability of the material
    • Formula: R = l / (μ × A) (At/Wb)
    • Relates to length of the magnetic circuit (l), permeability of the material (μ), and cross-sectional area (A)

    Permeability (μ)

    • Ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field
    • Measured in henries per meter (H/m)
    • Depends on the material and its magnetic properties
    • Higher permeability means a material is more easily magnetized
    • Formula: μ = μ₀ × μr (H/m)

    • Formula: Φ = B × A (Wb)
    • Unit of measurement: weber (Wb)

    Magnetic Circuit

    Magnetomotive Force (MMF)

    • MMF is the driving force behind the establishment of a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit.
    • Measured in Ampere-turns (At).
    • Calculated by multiplying the number of turns of the coil (N) by the current through the coil (I): MMF = NI.
    • Similar to electromotive force (EMF) in electric circuits.

    Magnetic Flux (Φ)

    • Refers to the amount of magnetic field that passes through a given area.
    • Measured in Webers (Wb).
    • Calculated by multiplying the magnetic flux density (B) by the area (A): Φ = BA.
    • Key to understanding magnetic circuits, as it represents the flow of magnetic field lines.

    Permeability (μ)

    • Measures how easily magnetic fields can pass through a material.
    • Measured in Henrys per meter (H/m).
    • Two types of permeability:
      • μ0: Permeability of free space (4π × 10^(-7) H/m).
      • μr: Relative permeability of a material (dimensionless).
    • Calculated by multiplying the permeability of free space (μ0) by the relative permeability of a material (μr): μ = μ0 × μr.

    Reluctance (R)

    • Refers to the opposition to the establishment of a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit.
    • Measured in Ampere-turns per weber (At/Wb).
    • Calculated by dividing the length of the magnetic circuit (l) by the product of the permeability (μ) and the cross-sectional area (A): R = l / (μA).
    • Similar to resistance in electric circuits.
