Analogy between Electric circuit and magnetic circuit
Definitions Related to Electromagnetic Field
A⋅M
Materials that have permeability slightly less
than that of free space are said to be
diamagnetic and those with permeability
slightly greater than that of free space are said
to be paramagnetic.
Magnetic Fields
Permeability
Magnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, steel
and alloys of these materials, have permeability
hundreds and even thousands of times that of
free space and are referred to as ferromagnetic.
The ratio of the permeability of a material to
that of free space is called relative permeability.

Magnetic Reluctance
•It is the property of a material which
opposes the creation of magnetic flux in it
• It is analogous to
•resistance in an electrical circuit
•The reluctance of a material is given by
Magneto Motive Force (mmf)F
It is the external force required to set
up the magnetic flux lines within the
magnetic material.
The magneto motive force F is equal
to the product of the number of turns
around the core and the current
through the turns of wire.
Magnetic Field Intensity (H)
It is The magnetomotive force per unit length

Magnetic Circuit Calculations
•In magnetic circuit calculations, it is
required to determine the excitation
mmf to establish a desired flux or flux
density at a given point
Magnetic Circuit Calculations

be analyzed to obtain an expression for flux.

Effect of air gap on Magnetization Curves
Air gap is practically an unavoidable
part of any magnetic circuit
The B-H loop of a magnetic circuit is
affected by the presence of air gap.
so greater values of H are required
to obtain the same value of B
as compared with magnetically
materials.

based on the given flux density B in the
gap, the flux is
φ = Bgap Agap = 0.25 × 8.75 × 10−4 = 2.188 × 10−4 [Wb]
thus magneto motive force is
