How the reluctance in a magnetic circuit depends on flux?

AI Thread Summary
Reluctance in a magnetic circuit is defined by the formula involving length, permeability, and cross-sectional area. It remains largely constant with respect to magnetic flux, as length and cross-sectional area do not change under typical conditions. The primary variable affecting reluctance is permeability, which is constant for free space and similar for most materials, except for ferromagnetic materials that exhibit a BH saturation curve. The discussion highlights that magnetorestriction may introduce minor variations in specific cases. Understanding these principles is essential for analyzing magnetic circuits effectively.

Since reluctance is equal to length decided by product of permeability and area of cross section,how does reluctance change with flux?

Length divided by product of permeability and area of cross section

That's a property of whatever is the medium through which you are pushing the flux.Try starting here

and would you be polite enough to rotate your image 90 degrees ccw?

Sorry for the inconvenience

It's okay, you're pretty new here.

You already know the answer.
Length and cross section are not dependent on flux (excepting maybe magnetorestriction in iron)

that leaves permeability
which for free space is a constant
and
as that Wiki article explains for most other materials is very near the same constant
the big exception being ferromagnetic materials
which have the classic BH saturation curve.

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...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
