Difference between Electric and Magnetic Circuit CHARACTERISTICS
ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE ( EMF) IN VOLTS
MAGNETOMOTIVE FORCE (MMF) IN AMPERE TURN
Current / Flux
Current= EMF/Resistance
Flux= MMF/Reluctance
Resistance / Reluctance
R=ρLA Where L is the length, ρ is resistivity, and A is the area.
ℜ=lμA Where l is the length, μ is the permeability, and A is the area.
Current / Flux Density
Current Density (amp/area) δ=IA
Flux Density ( Wb/area) B=φA
Series Circuit
Current in all elements is same, but voltage or emf is different across each element.
Same flux passes through all elements in series and sum of MMF’s across the elements equal to applied MMF.
Lines of Force
Electric lines of flux are not closed in an electric circuit.
Magnetic lines of flux are closed in a magnetic circuit.
Parallel Circuit
Voltage across all branches is same and equal to applied voltage whereas current in the branches is different.
MMF of each branch is same and equal to the applied MMF. Flux in each branch is different and their sum equals the resultant flux.
Insulation
Insulation confines the current to a definite path.
There is no perfect insulation for flux lines. It is impossible to confine all lines to the core path.
Temperature
Resistance of an electric circuit changes with change in temperature.
The permeability and therefore reluctance of a magnetic materials vary over a wide range if temperature changes.
Energy
Flow of an electric current in an electric circuit involves continuous dissipation of energy.
Energy is only needed for creating the flux initially and no energy is needed to maintain it.
Insulating Materials
There are certain materials which act as an insulator and current cannot flow through them
Since there are no magnetic insulators so flux can pass through any material.
Current / Flux Unit
Current is measured in Ampere (A).
Flux is measured in Weber (Wb).
Conductance / Permeance
Conductance=1/Resistance
Permeance=1/Reluctance
Electrons / Flux
In electric circuits, current flows (which is in fact the flow of electrons)
In magnetic circuits, flux sets up inside the magnetic circuit.
Electric / Magnetic Lines of force
Electric lines start from a positive charge and terminate to a negative charge
Magnetic lines start from a North pole and terminate to a South pole.
