Linear AC magnetic circuit theory

A theory is presented for linear, AC magnetic circuits. The theory develops real and imaginary reluctance terms, which are used in the same manner as real and imaginary impedance terms in linear, AC electrical circuit theory. The reluctance terms can be manipulated through coil-coupled resistances and capacitances. The theory is applied to a parallel magnetic-circuit configuration to show the limits of applicability for the particular materials from which the circuit is constructed.<
