How to Calculate and Solve for Magnetic Flux Density | Magnetic Properties
Last Updated on July 21, 2022
The magnetic flux density is illustrated by the image below.
To compute for magnetic flux density, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Permeability (μ) and Magnetic Field Strength (H).
The formula for calculating the magnetic flux density:
B = μH
Where:
B = Magnetic Flux Density
μ = Permeability
H = Magnetic Field Strength
Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic flux density when the permeability is 20 and the magnetic field strength is 2.
This implies that;
μ = Permeability = 20
H = Magnetic Field Strength = 2
B = μH
B = (20)(2)
B = 40
Therefore, the magnetic flux density is 40 T.
Calculating the Permeability when the Magnetic Flux Density and the Magnetic Field Strength is Given.
μ = B / H
Where:
μ = Permeability
B = Magnetic Flux Density
H = Magnetic Field Strength
Let’s solve an example;
Find the permeability when the magnetic flux density is 40 and the magnetic field strength is 4.
This implies that;
B = Magnetic Flux Density = 40
H = Magnetic Field Strength = 4
μ = B / H
μ = 40 / 4
μ = 10
Therefore, the permeability is 10.
Calculating the Magnetic Field Strength when the Magnetic Flux Density and the Permeability is Given.
H = B / μ
Where:
H = Magnetic Field Strength
B = Magnetic Flux Density
μ = Permeability
Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic field strength when the magnetic flux density is 25 and the permeability is 5.
This implies that;
B = Magnetic Flux Density = 25
μ = Permeability = 5
H = B / μ
H = 25 / 5
H = 5
Therefore, the magnetic field strength is 5.
