What are Magnetic Circuits?
Magnetic circuits are similar to normal electrical circuits that have a closed path followed by magnetic lines of force. It is important to know that in a magnetic circuit, the magnetic lines of force originate from a point and end at the same point after completing the full path. Despite being a circuit, it is important to note that nothing flows in a magnetic circuit like current that flows in a standard electrical circuit.
As the name suggests, a magnetic circuit consists of magnetic materials which have high permeability, these materials are usually steel or iron. Magnetic circuits also include electric motors, transformers, generators galvanometers, etc.
Magnetic Circuits
Till now we have talked about standard circuits like linear and non-linear circuits but in the electronics industry, there are another kind of circuits called ‘magnetic circuits’. These circuits like any other circuits have a closed path but the path is followed by magnetic lines of forces creating a field of magnetic flux instead of a flowing current. In this article, we will study what are magnetic circuits, and what components make up the circuit. We will also represent the equation used to represent these circuits mathematically. Later we will discuss the need of having magnetic circuits and some applications of magnetic circuits in everyday life. We will conclude the article by summing up what we have learned. The electronics industry especially the communication system uses these signals in various circuits and readers can read about these other signals as well.
