Permeability Definition and 122 Threads

As per the title, I am unable to understand the relationship between relative permeability and frequency losses of some materials. Considering metals in powder form such as (mpp, sendust and high flux) and metglas (amorphous). Why does the density also increase in powders (mpp, sendust, high...

Hi Quick question related to magnetism If I have a magnetic core and place that core onto a magnet, then roll the core on a flat surface ( whilst its still on the magnet), does that increase the permeability and magnetic field of that core ? If so, what is the theory behind that. thank you in...

I was asked to give an estimate for a three dimensional permeate problem and I need an assist in how to setup a model equation. Picture a 6" underground cylindrical bore. The depth of the cylindrical bore is 150 feet. The bore is sealed at the bottom and the permeability below the bore bottom...

Relative humidity can be calculated if you know dewpoint and temperature - by formulae such as the August-Roche-Magnus approximation. All methods - all formulae - ignore vapor resistance (perms). Surely scientists/engineers have a way to then, as a subsequent step, bring vapor retarders into...

I know that iron is typically used in electromagnets to create a stronger magnetic field. But what is the exact nature in which that happens? When it goes in is it slowed down at all while traveling through the metal or does it still keep going at the speed of causality? Also does it have the...

For example, can you predict the permittivity and permeability of a substance if you know what the atomic composition is? Is it a stat mech problem?

Why is this equation: B(D - d)/mu + Bd = mu0 N I true? B = magnetic field in the hole of the toroid D = Average diameter of the toroid d = Diameter of hole of toroid mu = relative permeability of iron, or whatever the toroid is made of mu0 = 4pi x 10^-7 N = Number of turns on the toroid I =...

One more thing i forgot to add, is magnetic permeability of a metal constant irrespective of its temperature including superconducting temperature ?

Hello there, I've worked through this problem and I would just like to check whether I've understood it correctly. I found ##\vec H##, ##\vec B## and ##\vec M## using Ampere's Law and the above relations as I would for any thin current carrying wire and these were my answers: $$\vec H = \frac I...

Does electric perm and magnetic perm give you enough info to work out OD? Thanks in advance

What happens if we make a dimensional analysis of permeability and permittivity ? Will we get a minimum possible amount of electric and magnetic values?

Summary: In a heating by induction experiment performed, the idea was to determine the efficiency of heating up a small steel cylinder, an aluminum cylinder and then compare the two efficiencies. The cylinder was surrounded by a metall coil that alternating current was going through...

Relative DC permeability of copper is 1. Conductors are considered dispersive and therefore the permeability should change with frequency. Where can I find data or how can I calculate permeability of copper in Ghz frequency range?

Hi, for lower frequencies most electrical devices use laminated electric steel , like transformers and motors. But this makes the core made up of individual metal sheets and in older transformers taking the core apart sometimes results in the individual sheets falling apart. Is there any...

What is the value of the permeability constant in 1865, the time when Maxwell's theory was first published? What was the experimental method used to determine the constant. Who did the experiment.

How does the relative permitivity and relative permeability related to the refractive index of a dielectic medium like water?

We are trying to design a new product which uses gas pressures in various ways. We are a little foxed about partial pressures: Imagine a small cylinder; 6in long + 1in in diameter. The cylinder is made from steel. The cylinder is divided into two equal compartments – A and B. Each compartment...

I have a fabric from a windshirt testing at 40 CFM under ASTM D 737 (125 Pa). I am interested in understanding what would happen to air velocity if two layers were stacked and tested. Next, how would the results be affected by an air gap between the two layers?

Why we use relative permeability if we have absolute permeability in electromagnetism?

If a current flows in a straight wire, a certain amount of magnetic flux will be generated around it. Now suppose I put an iron tube around the wire (but don't change the current). I know the inductance will increase, but is that because more total flux is now being generated, or is the total...

Permeability is the measure of the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field within itself. And the inductance of an electric circuit is one henry (H) when an electric current that is changing at one ampere per second results in an electromotive force of one volt across...

Can anyone please explain me the physical significance of these concepts?? Electric permittivity, Magnetic Permeability & suceptibility

I have a question about permeability and permittivity of free space. Theoretically speaking. If either one or both were to increase in value would that make the speed of light be faster or slower. I know they are constants. I am just curious if they did change what would happen.

Hi, Quick description of the problem at hand: spherical perfect conductor around the origin with radius a, spherical shell (with radius b) around it made of a material with given magnetic permeability bigger than 1. Uniform Magnetic field in the area. The solution I am looking at (which I won't...

I have been preforming experiments to study the diffusion of Hydrogen through Molybdenum. According to Sievert's law diatomic molecules would diffuse as atoms. But according to my experiments I notice that the flux of hydrogen is directly proportional to the pressure of hydrogen and not to the...

Homework Statement In a lab that I did in Physics we calculated the magnetic field of a solenoid while constantly increasing the number of time the wire was wrapped around the electromagnet. After I obtained all the values, plotted it in a graph and found the line of best fit, the slope came...

For example if you send a light beam towards a massive object the propagation speed will reduce if μ and ε are increasing, but the spacetime curvature will compensate for that reduction.

Please excuse the lay terms that will follow. I have been doing some reading on "magnetic shielding" and have come across alloys such as MuMetal which have high permeability and so can block interaction between two magnets. My question; Is this inhibition of interaction between the two...

In free space does permeability increase or decrease when a magnetic field is applied?

Hi All, It is said that iron has a high "permeability" for the magnetic field, it let's the magnetic field pass through it more easily. But it is also said that iron screens the magnetic field? Don't these two contradict themselves? Thanks, Ionel

Dear all, I have a question about magnetic saturation and I can't find any sources addressing my questions. I am relatively familiar with magnetic saturation and that the relative permeability of highly saturated iron becomes rather small. There are numerous sources with figures showing...

As per some websites that I visited, "Magnetic Permeability is the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field" so in materials with higher permeability the magnetic fields should be denser that materials with lower permeability. Lets say we have a magnetic circuit with a...

According to Maxwell's Equations, the classical vacuum permittivity and permeability have a very important role: They determine the speed of light. But it seems like these two important concepts are not as precisely defined in the quantum world. Are there rigorous analogs of these two...

Hi, I understand that magnetic flux is like electric current and will take the path of least resistance, but I really don't like the current analogy and here's one question where it doesn't help: Say you've got a piece of Ferro Iron where the magnetic moments are not lined up, you put a...

Hi, I've been thinking about how to calculate a permeability curve, I thought this would be an easy to find online but unfortunately I haven't had any luck. From what I can graphically see below: It appears to me that mu for a ferromagnetic material is proportional to the derivative of B vs H...
