Magnetics

Temperature coefficient

Materials science; Magnetics

A factor that is used to calculate the decrease in magnetic flux corresponding to an increase in operating temperature. The loss in magnetic flux is recovered when the operating temperature is ...

Weber

Materials science; Magnetics

The S.I. unit for total magnetic flux. The practical unit of magnetic flux. It is the amount of magnetic flux which, when linked at a uniform rate with a single-turn electric circuit during an ...

Tesla

Materials science; Magnetics

The S.I. unit for magnetic induction (flux density). One Tesla equals 10,000 Gauss.

Magnetic orientation

Materials science; Magnetics

Determines the magnetic polarity and position of one magnet pole to the other.

Magnetic pole

Materials science; Magnetics

An area where the lines of flux are concentrated.

Material grade

Materials science; Magnetics

Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets are graded by the magnetic material from which they are manufactured. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of material, the stronger the magnet. Neodymium magnets ...

The magnetic potential difference between any two points. Analogous to voltage in electrical circuits. That which tends to produce a magnetic field. Commonly produced by a current flowing through a ...
