air gap of a magnetic circuit
1air gap — /ˈɛə gæp/ (say air gap) noun 1. an air insulated gap in a magnetic circuit. 2. a gap in air between two conducting electrodes, especially a spark gap …
2Air gap — (Physics) An air filled gap in a magnetic or electric circuit; specif., in a dynamo or motor, the space between the field magnet poles and the armature; clearance. [Webster 1913 Suppl.] …
3magnetic circuit — Physics. the closed path described by magnetic flux. It is analogous to the electric circuit with resistance, where flux, reluctance, and magnetomotive force correspond to electric current, resistance, and electromotive force. * * * ▪ electronics …
4air gap — noun 1. : an air filled gap in a magnetic or electric circuit (as the space between the field magnet poles and the armature in a dynamo or motor) 2. : wind gap 3. : the vertical distance between the point where water enters a plumbing fixture (as …
5Magnetic core — A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical, electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets, transformers, electric motors, inductors and magnetic …
6Magnetic reluctance — Magnetic reluctance, or magnetic resistance, is a concept used in the analysis of magnetic circuits. It is analogous to resistance in an electrical circuit, but rather than dissipating magnetic energy it stores magnetic energy. In likeness to the …
7Magnetic base — as used in the engineering metaltrades. Fixed magnetic base with sna …
8Circuit breaker — For other uses, see Circuit breaker (disambiguation). An air circuit breaker for low voltage (less than 1000 volts) power distribution switchgear …
9Spark-gap transmitter — A spark gap transmitter is a device for generating radio frequency electromagnetic waves. These devices served as the transmitters for most wireless telegraphy systems for the first three decades of radio (1887 ndash;1916) and the first… …
10Spark gap — A spark gap consists of an arrangement of two conducting electrodes separated by a gap usually filled with a gas such as air. When a suitable voltage is supplied, a spark forms, ionizing the gas and drastically reducing its electrical resistance …
