What Is a Magnetic Circuit? A magnetic circuit is a closed path in which magnetic flux flows, typically created by magnetic fields in materials with high permeability, such as iron or other ferromagnetic materials. Analogous to electric circuits, magnetic circuits use elements like magnetic flux, reluctance, and magnetomotive force (MMF) to describe their operation. Key compo...
