Permeance
Posted in Physics, Electromagnetic machinesPermeance is the measure of the amount of flux for a given number of current-turns, it is given the symbol (lambda). Permeance, like conductance from AS, is related to both cross sectional area and length meaning a larger diameter iron core will yeild a greater permeance.
Permeance can be calculated in two ways, firstly there is the relationship between current-turns and flux:
Where is the current-turns
Alternatively there is an equation which is similar to that of conductance:
Where: is the permeability of the material
is the cross sectional area
is the length
Permeance is given the units Webber per ampere-turn
