AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of a purely parallel magnetic circuit, with participants questioning whether such a circuit can exist without being series or series-parallel. One participant argues that a truly parallel circuit would require a coreless design, while another mentions that no material with zero relative permeability exists, which is essential for a purely parallel circuit. Theoretical considerations suggest that magnetic fields are always present due to moving electrons, complicating the concept of a purely parallel circuit. Some participants acknowledge that certain configurations may function similarly to parallel circuits but depend on specific definitions. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the impracticality of achieving a purely parallel magnetic circuit.

Is it possible to have a purely parallel magnetic circuit in any case?(it should not be a series or series-parallel circuit)

Sure. Just use Google Images to search for Parallel Magnetic Circuit. Here is a typical image that you will see:

Sorry sir but this is not a purely parallel one.This is a series parallel circuit.
Yes I know you may oppose my statement,may be.But in a pure parallel circuit it must be coreless where the coil is wounded...I may not able to clarify it properly.But this is my best effort.sorry

Well then can you use Google Images to show us what you are asking about?

In fact my teacher told that there doesn't exist any magnetically parallel circuit.since there is no matter which has relative permeability as zero.So my real question is simply asking whether there is any material with relative permeability as zero...

You will always have the permeability of free space μo. If electrons are moving there will always be a magnetic field. Theoretically, that field covers the entire universe and couples with electrons everywhere.

In practice, I think that E core shown above functions like a parallel circuit. But that may depend on your definition of parallel. Changing the right side of that core has a minimal effect on the left side circuit.
