We study a magnetic circuit whose section is constant, composed of
We suppose the fields to be unidimensional, we neglect any field leak and any side effect.
1/ What should the hysteresis cycle of a good permanent magnet look like ? Should a soft or hard material be used ?
2/ Show that the vector is null in the electrical steel.
3/ Show that the magnetic field is the same in the air gap, the permanent magnet and the soft magnetic material.
By applying the conservation of the flux of on a small surface straddling the interface between two media, we have :
thus
We can apply the same reasoning at the interface between the permanent magnet and the electrical steel to get
4/ By applying Ampère’s theorem on a mean field line, find a relation between and in the magnet.
By applying Ampère’s theorem on a mean field line, we have :
But we have seen that thus i.e.
In the air gap, we have so finally :
5/ Deduce graphically the values of and . How many solutions are there ?
6/ What are the values of and in the air gap ?
