is the am ount' of flux passing through an area

one square m etre at right angles to the flux.

The units are W b/m2 and the sym bol is B.

lNDUCTION

PERMEABILITY This is sim ply a ratio of flux density produced to inducing

field strength. It m easures how easily flux is created in th e

material or m edium . It can be thought of as the slope of the
