Magnetics

Magnetising or demagnetizing force, is the measure of the vector magnetic quantity that determines the ability of an electric current, or a magnetic body, to induce a magnetic field at a given point; ...

Magnetic circuit

Materials science; Magnetics

Consists of all elements, including air gaps and non-magnetic materials that the magnetic flux from a magnet travels on, starting from the north pole of the magnet to the south pole.

Magnetic flux density

Materials science; Magnetics

Lines of flux per unit area, usually measured in Gauss (C.G.S.). One line of flux per square centimetre is one Maxwell.

Kilogauss

Materials science; Magnetics

One Kilogauss = 1,000 Gauss = Maxwells per square centimeter.

Magnetic field

Materials science; Magnetics

The space around a magnet in which the magnetic force can be detected.

Pole

Materials science; Magnetics

An area where the lines of magnetic flux are concentrated.

Permeance coefficient

Materials science; Magnetics

Also called the load-line, B/H or "operating slope" of a magnet, this is the line on the Demagnetization Curve where a given magnet operates. The value depends on both the shape of the magnet, and ...
