Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other

Magnetic flux is defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing through a
given closed surface
Magnetic flux density is a vector field that measures the strength of a magnetic field
at a given point.
Magnetic flux intensity, also known as magnetic field strength, is a measure of the
strength of a magnetic field
Ampere-turns is a unit of measurement for the magnetic field strength of an
electromagnet.
Gilbert is a unit in the CGS system that measures magnetomotive force.
The reluctance of a magnetic material is its ability to oppose the flow of magnetic
flux
permeability is the measure of the ability of the material to allow the formation of
magnetic lines of force or magnetic field within
relative permeability of a phase is a dimensionless measure of the effective
permeability of that phase.
Permeance is the measure of the ease with which flux can be set up in a material

Electromotive force is defined as the electric potential produced by either an


electrochemical cell or by changing the magnetic field.
Magnetomotive force (MMF) is a quantity that measures the ability of an
electric current to create magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit
 Current:
The flow of electric charge through a conductor, measured in amperes
(A).
 Flux:
A measure of the flow of a field through a surface, like magnetic flux
which represents the total magnetic field passing through a given
area.
 Resistance:
The opposition to the flow of electric current in a conductor,
measured in ohms (Ω).
 Conductance:
The measure of how easily electric current can flow through a
conductor, the reciprocal of resistance, measured in siemens (S).
 Resistivity:
A material property that describes how much a material resists the
flow of electric current, measured in ohm-meters (Ωm).

 Reluctivity:
In magnetic circuits, the magnetic equivalent of resistivity,
representing the opposition to magnetic flux within a material.
