    Flux Medium
AI Thread Summary
Flux cannot pass through any medium unimpeded, as certain materials can block or reduce its flow. Magnetic flux, specifically, can be shielded by materials like ultraperm 80 and mu metal, which can reduce its intensity but not completely stop it. Superconductors can entirely block magnetic flux lines, provided the field strength remains within limits. Therefore, the ability of flux to pass through a medium depends on the nature of the flux and the properties of the material. Understanding these interactions is crucial for applications involving magnetic fields and shielding.

Some one told me that ,by nature, flux an pass through any medium. Is it true? :rolleyes:

What kind of of flux?
Magnetic flux?
 
ya flux produced by primary winding of transformer
 
I know that there is a shielding material called ultraperm 80 that will block a magnetic field, So I would have to say no, it can't pass through anything.
 
You can reduce magnetic flux with conventional shielding materials, like mu metal, but not stop them. However a superconductor will completely block magnetic flux lines as long as the field strength isn't too large.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
