  2. Permeability (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability...

    Scientists. v. t. e. In electromagnetism, permeability is the measure of magnetization produced in a material in response to an applied magnetic field. Permeability is typically represented by the (italicized) Greek letter μ. It is the ratio of the magnetic induction to the magnetizing field as a function of the field in a material.

  3. Electrical steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_steel

    The typical relative permeability (μ r) of electrical steel is 4,000-38,000 times that of vacuum, compared to 1.003-1800 for stainless steel. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The magnetic properties of electrical steel are dependent on heat treatment , as increasing the average crystal size decreases the hysteresis loss.

  4. Ferromagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferromagnetism

    Condensed matter physics. Ferromagnetism is a property of certain materials (such as iron) that results in a significant, observable magnetic permeability, and in many cases, a significant magnetic coercivity, allowing the material to form a permanent magnet. Ferromagnetic materials are noticeably attracted to a magnet, which is a consequence ...

  5. Saturation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(magnetic)

    magnetite [1] Seen in some magnetic materials, saturation is the state reached when an increase in applied external magnetic field H cannot increase the magnetization of the material further, so the total magnetic flux density B more or less levels off. (Though, magnetization continues to increase very slowly with the field due to paramagnetism.)

  6. Mu-metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu-metal

    Each layer is about 5 mm thick. It reduces the effect of the Earth's magnetic field inside by a factor of 1500. Mu-metal is a nickel – iron soft ferromagnetic alloy with very high permeability, which is used for shielding sensitive electronic equipment against static or low-frequency magnetic fields.

  7. Magnetic susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_susceptibility

    Magnetic susceptibility is a dimensionless proportionality constant that indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. A related term is magnetizability, the proportion between magnetic moment and magnetic flux density. [3] A closely related parameter is the permeability, which expresses the total ...

  8. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    Magnetic core. A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, generators, inductors, loudspeakers, magnetic recording heads, and magnetic assemblies.

  9. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    Much stronger magnetic fields can be produced if a "magnetic core" of a soft ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic) material, such as iron, is placed inside the coil. [1] [2] [15] [16] A core can increase the magnetic field to thousands of times the strength of the field of the coil alone, due to the high magnetic permeability μ of the material.
