Basic Principle of Electric Actuators
• Induced emf (voltage) (Faraday’s Law) = =− /dt
• Transformers
• Force = ⃗×
= ×
• Motor
• Induced emf = = ⃗. ×
• Generator
3
Magnetic Flux
• Magnetic Flux = = . =
• Where:
• A is the cross-sectional area.
• B is the Magnetic flux density.
Θ
• Measured in Weber,
4
Magnetic Flux Density
• Magnetic Flux Density = =
• Where:
• = =
• =
• Measured in Tesla, = /
5
Magnetic Intensity
• Magnetic Flux Intensity is a measure of effort the current is
putting into establishment of magnetic field
• Magnetic Flux Intensity = = /
• Where:
• =
• =
• =
6
Magnetomotive Force
• Magnetomotive force = = =
• Where
• = ,
• This is analogous to =

Reluctance
• For a uniform core, =
= /
= /( / )
= /
• For a non uniform core, is computed
by first calculating the equivalent
reluctance as:
= + + ⋯ for cores in series
= + + ⋯ for cores in parallel

Example
• How much will produce
• with = 1
=4 × 10
= 2500

Hysteresis (Energy Loss) and Saturation in
Magnetic Flux
• = / is an ideal case. In reality, there is saturation and
hysteresis in the core, thus limiting to a maximum amount of
Magnetic filed
