Lesson 3 332a.ppsx

This document discusses solving magnetic circuits using an analogy to electric circuits. It explains how to represent a magnetic circuit using reluctances and magnetomotive force (MMF) sources. It also covers how to combine series and parallel reluctance values to find total reluctance and how to perform calculations to find flux distributions. Two example problems are provided and solved step-by-step to demonstrate calculating reluctance, MMF, flux, and field strength in both air gaps and iron cores of a magnetic circuit.
