    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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
