How does lamination affect the magneto-motive force across the air gap of a magnetic circuit?

It doesn't. There are three things that can affect this force: another magnetic field, another conductor within the field, and the size of the gap itself, of course.Lamination is, in essence, insulation, and anything non-magnetic and non-conductive within the field is transparent to the field itself - it's as if it weren't there.


What is true of any ferromagnetic materials?

It has an abnormally high magnetic permeability, it has a definite saturation point, and it has appreciable residual magnetism and hysteresis. That's why it remains magnetic even after the forcing magnetic field goes away.


Does color affect magnetic force?

Color does not affect magnetic force. But as magnet gets heated it loses magnetism


What is the significance of B-H curve?

H is the symbol for magnetic field strength, which is defined as the magnetomotive force per unit length of a magnetic circuit, where the magnetomotive force is provided by a current-carrying coil, wound around that magnetic circuit. Magnetomotive force is the product of the current flowing through the coil and the number of turns, expressed in amperes (although often spoken as "ampere turns").The magnetomotive force gives rise to the magnetic flux within the magnetic circuit, the intensity of which is termed flux density (symbol B), expressed in teslas.A B-H curve plots changes in a magnetic circuit's flux density as the magnetic field strength is gradually increased. The resulting shape indicates how the flux density increases due to the gradual alignment of the magnetic domains (atoms, that behave like tiny magnets) within the magnetic circuit material. When all the domains have aligned, the B-H curve reaches a plateau and the magnetic circuit is said to be saturated. At this point, any further increase in magnetic field strength has no further effect on the flux density. Different magnetic materials, such as iron, steel, etc., have B-H curves with different slopes and points at which saturation occurs.After reaching saturation, a reduction in the magnetic field strength results in a reduction in the flux density. However, the resulting curve does not quite match the original curve, but 'lags behind' it. This effect is called hysteresis, which is from the Greek, meaning to 'lag behind'.When the magnetic field strength reaches zero, the resulting curve indicates that the flux density has not, itself, reached zero. The value of flux density remaining is termed the remanence (or residual magnetism) of the magnetic material. 'Soft' magnetic materials, used in the manufacture of transformer cores, etc., will have a very small remanence; whereas 'hard' magnetic materials, used in the manufacture of permanent magnets, will have a very high remanence.In order to remove any remanence, the magnetic field strength requires to be reversed (by reversing the direction of the current in the coil) and increased in the opposite direction. The amount of 'negative' magnetic field strength necessary to completely remove the remanence is called coercivity.If we continue to increase the negative magnetic field strength, the magnetic material will again reach saturation in the opposite direction, and the new curve will be a mirror image of the original curve. The complete B-H curve is then usually described as a hysteresis loop. The area contained within a hysteresis loop indicates the energy required to perform the 'magnetise - demagnetise' process.'Soft' magnetic materials require relatively little energy to become magnetised and demagnetised and, so, have 'narrow' hysteresis loops, whereas 'hard' magnetic materials require a great deal of energy and have 'wide' hysteresis loops.So, B-H Curves and Hysteresis Loops are a valuable tools for comparing the characteristics and behaviour of different magnetic materials, in order to select them for an appropriate application.


How can the magnetic flux associated with coil or a closed circuit be changed?

A simple method for altering the magnetic flux would be to change the amount of current flowing in the coil or circuit. Generally speaking, more current, more magnetic flux, and vice versa.

saturation occurs when a magnetic material is as magnetized as it can get.

What is the limit for magnetic field developed for a DC machine?

The magnetic field used in machines is quantified in terms of its flux density (symbol: B), expressed in teslas. The flux density is established by the magnetic field strength (H), expressed in amperes per metre, set up in the field windings.As the magnetic field strength increases, the flux density increases until it reaches saturation. This is the point when the magnetic domains within the magnetic circuit are all aligned. At this point, any further increase in magnetic field strength will fail to increase the flux density.So saturation of the magnetic circuit limits the flux density of the field.

Can a magnetic field affect the performance of electrical circuits?

You better believe it can, but only if it's changing, otherwise the magnetic field can just pull or push the electrons in the circuit towards or away from it, but it can't slow them down. If the magnetic field is changing, a phenomenon called inductance happens. Inductance is an applied current to a circuit by a changing magnetic field. As you might imagine, an additional applied current to a circuit can definitely change the circuit's behavior and alter its performance.


Application of electrical circuit analogies in magnetic circuit?

Magnetic circuit follows equation (4) that is Ni = (Ф) ( l / μA) or m.m.f(magneto motive force) = (Flux) (reluctance).Electric circuit follows ohm's law that is E = I.R or e.m.f(electro motive force) = (current) (Resistance)From above point m.m.f in magnetic circuit is like as e.m.f in electrical circuit.Flux in magnetic circuit is similar as current in electrical circuit.Reluctance in magnetic circuit, S = ( l / μA) is similar to resistance R = (ρl/A) in electric circuit.Permeance (= 1/reluctance) in magnetic circuit is equivalent to conductance (=1/resistance) in electric circuit.In magnetic circuit flux establishes but not flow like as current in magnetic circuit.In magnetic circuit energy needed only to establish the flux but no consistent energy need to maintain it whereas in electric circuit continuous energy needed to flow of current.Resistance of an electric circuit is constant (for same temperature) and is independent of current but reluctance of magnetic circuit is not constant because it depends on μ (=B/H) which is not constant and depends on B/H.

What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?

An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
