Magnetic flux density calculation for high permeability material

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating magnetic flux density in high permeability materials, particularly in the context of a system involving two magnetically coupled solenoids with ferrite to enhance coupling. The Biot-Savart Law, which is based on air experiments, is deemed insufficient for these materials due to their different field distribution characteristics. Participants suggest looking into Maxwell's equations for a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the magnetic flux that passes through both air gaps and ferrite in the system. Overall, the thread seeks guidance on interpreting FEM calculations related to magnetic flux density in high permeability contexts.

Hi to all of you,

As the Biot-Savart-Law is based on experimentations in air, i like to know how to calculate the magnetic flux density in material with much greater permeability, where the circular like shape of the field distribution troughout the vicinity does not apply.
Does anyone has a hint where to find some further information or can answer the question directly?

The question relates to a a system of two magnetic coupled solenoid with a number of windings, where ferrite is used to improve the coupling and is based on a FEM-calculation.
Edit: The magnetic flux passes through both an air gap and the ferrite.

To interpret the solutions, i like to build up a better understanding for the results.

Thank you for any hints.

Maxwell's equations are the more general descriptions of the relationship between electricity and magnetism.

Thank you very much.
The information is very good to find a good spot on the science ground for digging!
 
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...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
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...
