SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of a purely parallel magnetic circuit, with participants debating its existence and characteristics. A purely parallel magnetic circuit is defined as one that does not include any series or series-parallel components, and it must be coreless where the coil is wound. Participants reference the impossibility of achieving a purely parallel magnetic circuit due to the absence of materials with zero relative permeability, as all materials exhibit some level of magnetic permeability, including free space.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of magnetic circuits and their configurations
  • Knowledge of magnetic permeability and its implications
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic theory
  • Ability to interpret circuit diagrams and images
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of magnetic permeability and its role in circuit design
  • Explore the principles of magnetic circuits and their configurations
  • Investigate coreless coil designs and their applications
  • Examine theoretical models of magnetic fields in free space
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physics students, and professionals involved in magnetic circuit design and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Is it possible to have a purely parallel magnetic circuit in any case?(it should not be a series or series-parallel circuit)

Sure. Just use Google Images to search for Parallel Magnetic Circuit. Here is a typical image that you will see:

Sorry sir but this is not a purely parallel one.This is a series parallel circuit.
Yes I know you may oppose my statement,may be.But in a pure parallel circuit it must be coreless where the coil is wounded...I may not able to clarify it properly.But this is my best effort.sorry

Well then can you use Google Images to show us what you are asking about?

In fact my teacher told that there doesn't exist any magnetically parallel circuit.since there is no matter which has relative permeability as zero.So my real question is simply asking whether there is any material with relative permeability as zero...

You will always have the permeability of free space μo. If electrons are moving there will always be a magnetic field. Theoretically, that field covers the entire universe and couples with electrons everywhere.

In practice, I think that E core shown above functions like a parallel circuit. But that may depend on your definition of parallel. Changing the right side of that core has a minimal effect on the left side circuit.
