Return path

Materials science; Magnetics

Conduction elements in a magnetic circuit which provide a low reluctance path for the magnetic flux. Reversible Temperature Coefficient: A measure of the reversible changes in flux caused by ...

Shunt

Materials science; Magnetics

A soft iron piece temporarily added between the pole of a magnetic circuit to protect it from demagnetizing influences. Also called a keeper. Not needed for Neodymium and other modern magnets.

South pole

Materials science; Magnetics

The south pole of a magnet is the one attracted to the south pole of the earth. This south-seeking pole is identified by the letter S. By accepted convention, the lines of flux travel from the north ...

Saturation

Materials science; Magnetics

The state where an increase in magnetising force produces no further increase in magnetic induction in a magnetic material.
