AC Power Measurement and Magnetic Circuits

Magnetic Circuits Magnetism plays an integral part in almost every electrical device used today in industry, research or the home.

Generators, motors, transformers, circuit breakers, televisions, computers, tape recorders, and telephones all employ magnetic effects to perform a variety of important tasks.

The compass, used by Chinese sailors as early as the second century A.D., relies on a permanent magnet for indicating direction. The permanent magnet is made of a material, such as steel or iron, that will remain magnetized for long periods of time without the need for an external source of energy.

There is a great deal of similarity between the analyses of electric circuits and magnetic circuits.

A curve of the flux density B versus the magnetizing force H of a material is of particular importance. Curves of this type can usually be found in manuals, descriptive pamphlets, and brochures published by manufacturers of magnetic materials. A typical B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material such as steel can be derived using the setup of Fig.
