Flux density in the ring, B = /a

H = B/µ₀ µ_r

Required to generate flux in the AT ring = H × Average length of flux path = H × l

Category Magnetic Circuit | Series magnetic circuit

range magnetic circuit flows through. In a series magnetic circuit, the same current flows through each part of the circuit. Compare this to only one series electric circuit which carries the same current throughout. Consider a composite magnetic circuit consisting of three different magnetic materials of different relative permittivity along with an air-gap as shown in Fig. 8.4.

Since the parts do not have the same cross-sectional area, the flux density will be different in different parts. If we are given flux and m.m.f. we take one part at a time

and flux density B, magnetic force H (H = B / µ₀ µ_r or more precisely from the BH curve for magnetic materials, not air-gap) and find the product Hl for that part. The total mmf required will be the sum of these products i.e.

Required mmf = Hl₁ + Hl₂ + Hl₃ + H_g l_g

Here, H₁ = B₁ / µ₀ µ_r , H₂ = B₂ / µ₀ µ_r , H₃ = B₃ / µ₀ µ_r , H_g = B_g / µ₀

Parallel Magnetic Circuit | Parallel Magnetic Circuit

Magnetic core consisting of parallel branches. A magnetic circuit in which there is more than one path for the magnetic flux is called a parallel magnetic circuit. It can only be compared to a parallel electric circuit in which there is more than one path for the passage of current.

The concept of parallel magnetic circuit is shown in Fig. 8.5. Here a coil of N turns the wound on the part of AF, carrying a current of ampere. The magnetic flux established by the coil, at B splits into two paths, namely;

• magnetic flux₂ The path passes along BE.
• The magnetic flux 3 follows the path BCDE.

The magnetic flux paths BE and BCDE are in parallel and form a parallel magnetic circuit. The AT required for this parallel circuit is equal to the AT required for any given path.

let s₁ = reluctance of EFAB path

S₂ = BF path reluctance

S₃ = reluctance of BCDE path

Total mmf required = mmf for path EFAB + mmf for path BE or path BCDE

NI =₁ S₁ + S₂ = S₁₁ +₃ S₃
