Parallel Magnetic Circuits. A magnetic circuit that has more than one path for the magnetic flux is called a parallel magnetic circuit. Magnetic circuits have air gaps essential to their operation increase each cross sectional dimension of gap by the size of the gap laminated cores are created with thin sheets of stacked irons or steels stacking factor is used to determine core s effective area.
A magnetic circuit having two or more than two paths for the magnetic flux is called a parallel magnetic circuit. Indicates the equivalent electrical circuit. A magnetic circuit that has more than one path for the magnetic flux is called a parallel magnetic circuit.
A magnetic circuit having two or more than two paths for the magnetic flux is called a parallel magnetic circuit.
In series circuits all parts of the magnetic circuit carry same flux and total ampere turns required to create a given flux is the arithmetic sum of the ampere turns required for individual parts of the circuit. If all the flux is confined to a single closed loop as in a ring shaped electromagnet the circuit is called a series magnetic circuit. Preface to college physics by open stax the basis for this textbook. Consider a parallel magnetic circuit shown in figure.
