Magnetic Circuits Flashcard

Front

What is the magnetic pressure that sets up or tends to set up magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit?

Back

Magnetomotive force (MMF)

Front

The ability of a material to conduct magnetic lines of force through it is called:

Back

Permeability

Front

The total number of magnetic lines of force in a magnetic circuit is referred to as:

Back

Magnetic flux

Front

The region around a magnet where its pole exhibits a force of attraction or repulsion is called:

Back

Magnetic field

Front

The force acting on a unit north pole (1 Wb) when placed at a point in the magnetic field is known as:

Back

Magnetic field density

Front

The ease with which magnetic flux can be set up in a material is called:

Back

Permeance

Front

The magnetic flux which does not follow the intended path in a magnetic circuit is called:

Back

Leakage flux

Front

The property of a material analogous to resistivity in an electric circuit is called:

Back

Reluctivity

Front

The opposition offered to the magnetic flux by a magnetic circuit is called:

Back

Reluctance

Front

The flux per unit area at right angles to flux at the point is called:
