Physics of flux concentration
June 27th, 2011
Without a concentrator, the magnetic flux would spread around the coil or current-carrying conductor and link with the electrically conductive surroundings (auxiliary equipment, metal supports, tools, and fixtures, for example). The concentrator forms a magnetic path to channel the coil’s main magnetic flux in a well-defined area outside the coil.
