What is permeability? I know that it's the ratio between B and H but didn't understand exactly the physical meaning of this concept
permeability is the degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to an applied magnetic field.
Magnetic permeability is a measure of how easily a material can be magnetized. It is the ratio of the magnetic flux density to the magnetic field strength.
Magnetic permeability is typically measured using a unit called henries per meter (H/m). This unit represents the amount of magnetic flux density per unit of magnetic field strength.
The composition and structure of a material can affect its magnetic permeability. Materials with a high level of ferromagnetic elements, such as iron, have a higher magnetic permeability than non-magnetic materials.
Materials with a high magnetic permeability are more easily magnetized and can retain their magnetic properties for longer periods of time. On the other hand, materials with low magnetic permeability are less easily magnetized and are more likely to lose their magnetic properties quickly.
Magnetic permeability is an important property in the design of electromagnets and other magnetic devices. It is also used in various industries, such as electronics, telecommunications, and medical imaging.
