MAGNETIC CIRCUITS
TERMS: NAME:

Magneto-motive Force (mmf) Magnetic Field Intensity Flux Density Permiability

SYMBOL / UNITS:

F (Ampere Turns) or (A-t) H (A-t/meter) B (Tesla) yay! 1Tesla = 1Wb/meter2 (H/meter)

EQUATION:

F = NI

H = NI/l (l = path length in meters) B = H Where r is the relative permeability of the material and o = 4 x 10-7 H/m is the permeability of free space. = BA (A is cross-sectional area in square meters) = N L = /I = N2/ = l/roA = ro

Flux Flux Linkage Inductance Reluctance Useful Relationships:

(Webers, Wb) (Weber-turns) L (Henries) (A-t/Wb)
