  20. DESCRIBE the following materials as they relate to permeability, including an example and an approximate permeability ratio:
    a. Ferromagnetic materials
    b. Paramagnetic materials
    c. Diamagnetic materials
    Ferromagnetic Materials: Some of the ferromagnetic materials used are iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, and the commercial alloys, alnico and peralloy. Ferrites are nonmagnetic, but have the ferromagnetic properties of iron. Ferrites are made of ceramic material and have relative permeabilities that range from 50 to 200. They are commonly used in the coils for RF (radio frequency) transformers.

    Paramagnetic Materials: These are materials such as aluminum, platinum, manganese, and chromium. These materials have a relative permeability of slightly more than one.

    • Diamagnetic Materials: These are materials such as bismuth, antimony, copper, zinc, mercury, gold, and silver. These
    • materials have a relative permeability of less than one.
  21. EXPLAIN the cause of hysteresis losses
    Hysteresis is defined as “a lagging behind”. The magnetic flux in an iron core lags behind the magnetizing force. When current in a coil reverses direction thousands of times per second, hysteresis can cause considerable loss of energy.
  22. DESCRIBE Faraday’s Law of Induced Voltage, including factors used in calculation and the calculation.
    The magnitude of the induced voltage depends on two factors: (1) the number of turns of a coil, and (2) how fast the conductor cuts across the magnetic lines of force or flux.
  23. The ability of a material to concentrate magnetic lines of flux.
    Permeability
  24. The current times the number of turns of the coil is expressed in units called
    Ampere Turns
