MAGNETIC CIRCUITS
 Electrical current flowing along a wire creates a magnetic 
field around the wire, as shown in Fig. That magnetic field 
can be visualized by showing lines of magnetic flux, 
which are represented with the symbol f.

Faraday discovered is that current flowing through the 
coil not only creates a magnetic field in the iron, it also 
creates a voltage across the coil that is proportional to 
the rate of change of magnetic flux f in the iron. 
•
That voltage is called an electromotive force, or emf, and 
is designated by the symbol e.
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction:
•
The sign of the induced emf is always in a direction that 
opposes the current that created it, a phenomenon 
referred to as Lenz’s law.

FAQs on PPT: Magnetic Circuits - Basic Electrical Technology - Electrical Engineering (EE)

1. What is a magnetic circuit?
Ans. A magnetic circuit is a closed path or loop through which magnetic flux flows. It consists of a magnetic core made of ferromagnetic material and a coil or winding that produces a magnetic field.
2. How does magnetic flux flow in a magnetic circuit?
Ans. Magnetic flux flows from the north pole to the south pole of a magnet in a magnetic circuit. It follows the path of least resistance through the magnetic core, which is usually made of materials with high magnetic permeability.
3. What is magnetic permeability?
Ans. Magnetic permeability is a property of materials that determines how easily they can be magnetized. It quantifies how much magnetic flux can pass through a material. Materials with high magnetic permeability, such as iron, allow magnetic flux to flow easily, while materials with low permeability, such as air, offer more resistance to the flow of magnetic flux.
4. What are the applications of magnetic circuits?
Ans. Magnetic circuits have various applications, including transformers, electric motors, inductors, and generators. They are used to control and manipulate magnetic fields for efficient energy transfer and conversion.
5. How does magnetic saturation affect a magnetic circuit?
Ans. Magnetic saturation occurs when the magnetic field strength in a magnetic circuit exceeds the material's ability to magnetize further. It leads to a decrease in magnetic permeability, resulting in a reduced ability to conduct magnetic flux. This can cause undesirable effects such as increased losses and reduced efficiency in magnetic devices.
