magnetomotive force

mag·ne·to·mo·tive force

M0033700 (măg-nē′tō-mō′tĭv)n. Abbr. mmf The work that would be required to carry a hypothetical isolated magnetic pole of unit strength completely around a magnetic circuit.

magnetomotive force

n (General Physics) the agency producing a magnetic flux, considered analogous to the electromotive force in an electric circuit; equal to the circular integral of the magnetic field strength. Symbol: F

mag•ne′to•mo′tive force′

(mægˈni təˈmoʊ tɪv, -ˌni-)

n. a scalar quantity that is a measure of the sources of magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit. [1883]

magnetomotive force

[mag¦nēd·ō′mōd·iv ′fōrs] (electromagnetism) The work that would be required to carry a magnetic pole of unit strength once around a magnetic circuit. Abbreviated mmf.

Magnetomotive Force

a quantity that characterizes the magnetic action of an electric current. The magnetomotive force is introduced in calculations of magnetic circuits by analogy with the electromotive force in electric circuits.

The magnetomotive force F is equal to the circulation of the vector of magnetic field intensity H through a closed circuit L that encompasses the electric currents generated by the magnetic field:

(in the International System of Units). Here HI is the projection of H onto the direction of the element of the integration circuit d I and n is the number of conductors (coils) carrying a current I_i that are encompassed by the circuit. The unit of magnetomotive force is the ampere (or ampere-turn) in the International System of Units and the gilbert in the cgs system of units (symmetrical); 1 A = (4π/10) Gb ~ 1.2566 Gb.
