Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the nature of flux, specifically magnetic flux, and whether it can pass through any medium. Participants explore various materials and conditions that may affect the passage of magnetic flux.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions the claim that flux can pass through any medium.
  • Another participant specifies that the discussion is about magnetic flux, particularly that produced by a transformer's primary winding.
  • A different participant mentions ultraperm 80 as a shielding material that can block magnetic fields, suggesting that flux cannot pass through everything.
  • Another participant argues that while conventional shielding materials like mu metal can reduce magnetic flux, they do not completely stop it, and notes that superconductors can block magnetic flux lines under certain conditions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on whether magnetic flux can pass through all materials, with some asserting it can be blocked or reduced by specific materials.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference specific materials and conditions affecting magnetic flux, but the discussion does not resolve the broader question of flux's ability to pass through any medium.

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.
