Physical interpretation of Reluctance

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic reluctance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of magnetic flux, analogous to electrical resistance in circuits. The magnetic flux in a circuit with different magnetic materials remains constant due to the principle of conservation of magnetic flux, which states that the total flux entering a junction must equal the total flux leaving it. This is similar to Ohm's law, where inductive reactance can be substituted for resistance in AC circuits. The inductance of different materials can equalize the flux when adjusted for factors like the number of windings and permeability. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing magnetic circuits effectively.

Hi,

I would like to know what is the physical interpretation of magnetic reluctance.
Also I would like to know why the magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit composed of different magnetic materials should be the same?

Thank you.

we know from ohms law that: e=i times r
when we consider inductors in circuits with frequencies we substitute r with xc (inductive reactance).
the formula is: Xl (inductive reactance)=2 * pie *f (freq.) * L
the only way "the magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit composed of different magnetic materials should be the same" is if, the inductance of the inductors are the same.
ie: ferrous material # 1 has 10 windings, and this inductance is equal to ferrous material # 2 with 12 windings, as material #'2's permiability is lower.
 
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...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
