MEA 3103 - Module 1 - Intro To Magnetic Circuit

This document discusses magnetic circuits and materials. It begins by defining magnetic field and how it is generated by electric currents or changing electric fields. It then discusses permeability and several laws governing magnetic circuits, including magnetic flux, field strength, flux density, magnetomotive force, reluctance, residual magnetism, and saturation. It also covers the end rule, Lenz's law, Fleming's right hand rule, and electromagnetic induction. Finally, it mentions an assignment on types of magnetic materials.

What is Magnetic Field?

a vector field in the neighborhood of a magnet, electric


current, or changing electric field, in which magnetic forces are
observable. (Britannica)

Permeability

the measure of the resistance of a


material against the formation of a
magnetic field

Laws Governing Magnetic Circuit

1. Magnetic flux(ϕ):
The magnetic lines of force produced by a magnet is called magnetic flux
1 weber = 10e8 lines of force

2. Magnetic field strength

H= Ampere-turns per meter

3.Flux density

1 Tesla = weber/ sq. m.

4 .Magneto-Motive Force

MMF = Ampere-turns

5. Magnetic Reluctance

The opposition of the material to flow of magnetic flux

R = length/(permeability*area)

6. Residual Magnetism

It is the magnetism which remains in a material when the effective


magnetizing force has been reduced to zero.

7. Magnetic Saturation
The limit beyond which the strength of a magnet cannot be increased is
called magnetic saturation.

8. End Rule
The current direction when looked from one end of the coil is in clock wise
direction then that end is South Pole. If the current direction is in anti clock
wise direction then that end is North Pole.
9. Lenz’s Law
When an emf is induced in a circuit electromagnetically the current set
up always opposes the motion or change in current which produces it.

10. Fleming's Right Hand Rule

This rule is used to find out the direction of dynamically induced emf.

11. Electro magnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction means the electricity induced by the magnetic field


First Law
Whenever a conductor cuts the magnetic flux lines an emf is induced in the conductor
Second Law
The magnitude of the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of flux-linkages

Types of Magnetic Materials Assignment

Assignment
Instructions:
Write your answer in a short size bond paper and submit a digital copy of it. Or
you may encode it directly in MS word and submit a pdf version of it. Avoid copy
and paste from the internet. Use your own words in every answer. Note that
exactly the same answers is considered cheating.

Determine the different types of magnetic materials and give at


least two examples each.
Explain Lenz’s law in your own words.
Will a conductor placed near a magnet induce voltage?
Use Faraday’s Law to justify your answer.
