Q

The magnetic flux and a circuit is directly proportional to the magnetomotive force and inversely proportional to the

A

Reluctance

18
Q

The ease of which fluxes set up in the cross-section of material is called

A

Permeability

19
Q

Magnetic screens are made up of what type of reluctance

20
Q

Why don’t magnetic lines of force collapse in the center of a magnet

A

Because they repel eachother

21
Q

Why are there no magnetic poles in the fields surrounding current caring conductor

A

No points for these lines of force diverge or converge

22
Q

Is the field around the conductor more dance or less dense closer to the conductor

23
Q

As the current in the conductor is decreased what happens to the magnetic lines of force surrounding the conductor

A

The flex lines collapse inward

24
Parallel conductors caring parents in the same direction attracted to other and parallel conductors caring currents in opposite directions
Repel
25
Using the left-hand real for coils the thumb points in the direction of
North pole of the coil

27
Materials that act in the similar way to iron are referred to as
Ferromagnetic
28
What is the most practical way of varying the strength of an electromagnet

Rheostat
30
The magnetic flux in a circuit is directly proportional to the

31
Opposition of formation of flux lines
Reluctance
32
The point at which all domains and magnetic materials have aligned themselves the magnetic field is referred to as
Theoretical saturation
33
The amount of reverse magnetizing force required to remove the residual magnetism is called the
Coercive force
34
The spreading out a flex lines in an air gap is called
Fringing
