Disadvantages of Magnetic Circuits
There are few disadvantages of some magnetic circuit
- The major disadvantage associated with magnetic circuits is the hysteresis loss associated with losses due to the magnetic core in the circuit. This loss occurs due to the energy which is used to magnetize and demagnetize the core material.
- Another loss associated with magnetic circuits is Eddy Current Loss. In appliances that work with high-frequency, eddy current losses can still be a significant factor leading to additional problems like power loss, unnecessary heating.
- The designing of magnetic circuits involves a complex procedure this is mainly due to the specification of particular equipment. While choosing a circuit one needs to consider many factors like type of core material, geometry, and winding configurations.
- The cost of manufacturing these circuits can be high due to various components involved like magnetic core, wiring and other components which are expensive.
- The properties of magnetic circuit depends largely on factors like temperature .This is because the core inside circuit is made up of permeable material whose magnetic properties are temperature dependent. Thereby affecting performance and efficiency of magnetic circuits.
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.
