Magnetic Circuits, Air Gaps (conceptual)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In magnetic circuits, when fringing is ignored, the flux density in the air gap equals that in the core. This principle holds true across various materials in a series circuit, where the flux and flux density remain constant. The only variables that change are the permeability of each material and the magnetizing force applied. For detailed examples, refer to Example 9.7.1 from the MIT course materials and the Mississippi State University PDF on magnetic circuits.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement


When dealing with magnetic circuits, if the question explicitly states to ignore fringing, then the flux density of the gap will equal the flux density of the core, correct? In fact, if there are ever more materials, the flux density throughout the entire circuit (series) will have the same flux, and flux density. The only thing that will vary is the permeability of each material as well as the magnetizing force, correct?
