NotASmurf said:Hey all, if a magnetic field source is at A and an inductor is at B halfway from C, the measuring point will the field be attenuated and decrease in strength due to a percentage of it being absorbed by a solenoid if so how would one calculate the amount, I found how to calculate energy in an inductor E = 0.5 LI^2 from integrating power equation but not any information on my specific problem. Any help appreciated,
The percentage of external B field absorbed by an inductor represents the amount of the magnetic field produced by an external source that is captured and stored by the inductor. This is also known as the inductor's "magnetic coupling" with the external source.
The percentage of external B field absorbed by an inductor is calculated by dividing the energy stored in the inductor by the energy of the external magnetic field. This can also be expressed as the ratio of the inductance of the inductor to the total inductance of the circuit.
The percentage of external B field absorbed by an inductor is affected by the inductance of the inductor, the frequency of the external magnetic field, and the physical distance between the inductor and the external source. Additionally, the type of material used in the inductor can also impact its ability to absorb the external B field.
The percentage of external B field absorbed by an inductor can impact the performance of a circuit in various ways. For example, a higher percentage of absorption can lead to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the circuit. On the other hand, a lower percentage of absorption can result in a weaker magnetic coupling and reduced energy transfer between the inductor and the external source.
Yes, the percentage of external B field absorbed by an inductor can be increased by adjusting the physical distance between the inductor and the external source, using materials with higher permeability for the inductor, or by increasing the frequency of the external magnetic field. Additionally, incorporating multiple inductors in a circuit can also increase the overall percentage of absorption.
