Relation between current and flux

Click For Summary
Voltage is proportional to the negative change in magnetic flux, indicating that the voltage graph represents the negative derivative of the flux graph. In motors, a change in flux induces a current that generates an opposing magnetic field, suggesting a direct relationship between flux and current. The equation Φ=LI illustrates that flux is proportional to current, with L representing the coil's inductance as a constant. Current and flux will have similar shaped graphs over time, provided there is no magnetic saturation. This relationship highlights the interconnectedness of voltage, current, and magnetic flux in electrical systems.

So I learned that voltage/emf is proportional to the negative change in flux so the graph of the voltage is the negative derivative of the flux graph.

What is the relation between flux and current. In a motor, a change in flux induces a current that creates an opposing magnetic field, and since current is proportional to magnetic field strength, does that mean flux is proportional to current in the coil. So does this mean current and flux will have a similar shaped graph over time?

Thanks

I didn't follow your motor example. Which motor are you talking about?

Yes, but only if there is no magnetic saturation.

Φ=LI, where L is the inductance of the coil, which is a constant.
So, flux∝current.
