Interpretation for voltage and flux linkage

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concepts of voltage, flux linkage, and their behavior in electrical circuits. It emphasizes the importance of understanding voltage, potential difference, and electromotive force (emf) before tackling flux linkage. Participants highlight that while current divides in a bifurcated circuit based on resistance, voltage remains constant across paths. The need for clarity in terminology, especially regarding "flux linkage," is also noted, indicating a gap in understanding among learners.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of voltage and potential difference

The interpretation for charge and current through of a circuit is known... "the current is the motion of the charges, electrons, that is repulsed by negative pole and attracted by positive pole through of a conducting wire...". Ok... But what is the explanation for flux linkage and voltage through of a electrical circuit?

Understanding the physical behavior of the charge and current is more intuitive comprehend the their behavior through of a electrical circuit, like the why of when the circuit is bifurcated the current is divided in two and prefer the path that offers minor resistance... But I haven't this intuitive notion wrt voltage and flux linkage, I don't know why they behaves of a way or of another... (for example, I don't know why when the circuit is bifurcated the voltage isn't divided in two, is the same for both path).

I think that most teachers of Physics would agree that it's better to master the idea of voltage, and the distinction between potential difference and emf (both measured in volt = joule per coulomb) before dealing with flux linkage.

Are you trying to master both voltage and flux linkage at the same time?

I know what is voltage and potential difference, emf I know so-so and about the flux linkage, I don't know what is. Also, I don't know what is "flux linkage" in my natural idiom, pt-br, and I don't know what "linkage" means in english too! :S
