Lecture 06 Magnetic Classification of Materials 1
The most Important question showing the importance of these materials is: Why all the electrical machines like (Motors, generators or transformers) are made of an iron core? 2
Suppose the current increased gradually, what will happen if the tube is glass instead of steel??? 3

What is the reason for this behavior of the iron core? Why the flux density increased with iron core? The answer is that happen due to the crystal lattice of the ferromagnetic material. 6

In order to know the effect of the core material on the flux density inside a coil, proceed as follows: Refer to the (B-H) curve and compare between the values of (B) for air cored coil and iron cored coil for the same (H) as shown ????=???? ? Then ????= ??: Is known as (The Relative Permeability), which is a unitless number representing the factor of increasing the flux density of certain ferromagnetic material. ? , while ?????=????? ????? ?????? ?????=????? ????= ?? 13
From the previous discussion, it is clear that: ??=?? ?? Where ?? is the permeability of iron ?????, and ?? is the permeability of vacuum ????. The following table represents the relative permeability of different alloys of materials. In general the permeability of any material ? is: ? = ?? ?? 14

Magnetic lines of force have a number of important properties, which include: They seek the path of least resistance between opposite magnetic poles. In a single bar magnet as shown to the right, they attempt to form closed loops from pole to pole. They never cross one another. They all have the same strength. Their density decreases (they spread out) when they move from an area of higher permeability to an area of lower permeability. Their density decreases with increasing distance from the poles. They are considered to have direction as if flowing, though no actual movement occurs. They flow from the south pole to the north pole within a material and north pole to south pole in air. 26
Why we study the above relations? What is the gain of this study? Is there any benefit? Answer: Notice the following applications! How can engineers design these equipments? The First Step To Design Such Equipments, You Have To Study the Magnetic Circuit 27
The first question arises here is that: What is the relation between the terms (Magnetic) and (Circuits)?????? Answer: The following table show this relation: Magnetic Device Electric Circuit The exciter of the magnetic device is a coil fed by a DC voltage source to produce a magnetomotive force (mmf) or (f) in (NI) known as Ampere Turns of the coil. The exciter of the electric circuit is a DC voltage source, electromotive force (emf) or (e) in Volts, feeding the circuit. known as the This coil will produce Magnetic Flux ? inside the core of the device. This source will produce Electric Current ? in side the circuit. The initiation of the flux in the core of the device will be due to the properties of the magnetic core the Reluctance (?) : This current will be opposed by the circuit properties the Resistance (?) : ? = ?? ?= ? ? ?? ? = ?? The determination of the magnetic flux in the magnetic core due to the relation: ? =??? ? The determination of the electric current in electric circuit, due to the relation: ? =??? ? =? =? ? ? Hence, the magnetic device can be considered as a magnetic circuit analogous to the electric circuit . 28
