    How Do I Resolve Discrepancies in Magnetic Circuit Calculations?

    Fm = (500)(10/27) = 185.185 At Total flux = βA = (0.35)(0.003) = 0.00105 wb Rm = Fm / total flux = 185.185 / 0.00105 = 176366.6667 At/wb R(air) = (0.1 x10^-3) / (700)(4π x 10^-7)(0.003) = 37.894034 At/wb Rm = length / μA length = Rm...

    How is average power calculated using volt-seconds and RMS voltage?

    If I have a voltage magnitude that I can modify, say I'm measureing the RMS of it. And that it is at a set frequency, and I want to know the quantity (that I am only just familiarising myself with) known as volt-seconds, on a coil and magnetic core. Say I was looking at how many volt seconds the...

    Converting V-I Curve to B(t) Curve for Magnetic Core: Quick Guide

    Hey, I'm only asking this here because its a bit of a time-critical question (no pun inteded). But if one takes a V Vs I curve (like to measure BH without the equipment to measure flux directly), that is to say, measures the change of increase in voltage and increase in current (where current is...

    Earth Core Temperature: Causes & Impact

    Dear PF Forum, Does the Earth core produces its own energy? If it is true, how? Radioactive decay? Gravity? Earth core temperature is around 4000 Celcius. Almost like the sun surface temperature. How can that temperature kept for 4 billions of year? Can the temperature heat the mantle and Earth...

    Model an Inductor: Flux Through Core & Air Around It

    Hi, I'm just curious why we model the ideal inductor as having the leakage inductance as being in series with the ideal core, rather than in parallel to it? Because it would seem to me that the flux goes in two parallel directions, one through the core, and one through the air around the core...

    Will Changing an Inductor's Core Affect Voltage Drop with Constant DC Current?

    Suppose you have a pure DC supply with a constant current to an inductor. And you change the core of the inductor from air to iron, leaving the current remain the same. You may try changing to other materials. Does the voltage drop across the inductor will remain the same for any core? Anyone...

    Why is it important to use insulated wires in an electromagnet core?

    Hello everyone, I read somewhere that it is preferable to use insulated iron wires instead of a single iron core inside an electromagnet. Anybody has an idea on why is that and what difference does it make to use each? Thanks in advance.
