Electromag Module 2 Midterms
• ALNICO – is used to make powerful magnets, these alloys are very hard,
used in generators.
• HIPERNIK -
(trademark of the Westinghouse Electric Company) is an alloy of 50 percent
nickel useful for high-power transformers. Heating Permalloy containing 5
percent molybdenum in pure hydrogen
Ampere – turns of magnetomotive force (mmf)
Mmf = I x N
Mmf – magnetomotive force
I – current
N – number of turns
SI – mmf -----Ampere turns
CGS – mmf ---- Gilberts
Field intensity (H)
- This is the ratio of the magnetomotive force with that of the length of the coil.
- The ampere – turn of mmf specify the magnetizing force, but the intensity of the
magnetic field depends on how long the coils is.
H= mmf
L
H---field intensity
Mmf– magnetomotive force
L = length of the coil
Units :
SI = ampere – turns / meter
CGS = Gilbert /cm or oersted (Oe)
Conversion of units
0.0126 Oe = 1 A-t/m
Sol’n :
Relative Permeability (µr) is the ratio of the permeability of the material to the permeability of vacuum or air.
µr = µ / µo ;
µo is the permeabilty of vacuum or air also called free space permeability
µo = 4Π x 10-7 T/A.t/m----- in Si
µo = 1 G/Oe ----- in cgs.
Since the µ & µo has the same unit, the relative permeability will have no unit.

Force between two charged bodies
The amount of force between two charge is given by Coulomb’s law:

Where:
F – force in Newtons
Q1 - first charge in coulombs
Q2 – second charge in coulombs
r – distance between these two
charge in meters
Electromagnetic induction
Faraday’s Law
• States that the magnitude of the emf induced in the circuit is
proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux that cuts
across the circuit.
Sometimes broken into two laws:
Faradays first law electromagnetic induction
Electromotive force emf is induced when ever a conductor cuts
magnetic flux.

Reluctance & Permeance / Permeability & Reluctivity
• Reluctance – opposition offered in magnetic circuit to the flow of
magnetic flux.
