SUMMARY
Magnetic permeability is defined as the degree of magnetization of a material that responds linearly to an applied magnetic field. It is quantitatively expressed as the ratio of magnetic flux density (B) to magnetic field strength (H). This concept is crucial for understanding how materials interact with magnetic fields, and it is foundational in electromagnetism.
