permeance (P)
Materials science; Magnetics
A measure of relative ease with which flux passes through a given material or space. It is calculated by dividing magnetic flux by magnetomotive force. Permeance is the reciprocal ...
permeance coefficient
Materials science; Magnetics
Also called the load-line, B/H or "operating slope" of a magnet, this is the line on the Demagnetization Curve where a given magnet operates. The value depends on both the shape ...
plating/coating
Materials science; Magnetics
Most neodymium magnets are plated or coated in order to protect the magnet material from corrosion. Neodymium magnets are mostly composed of neodymium, iron, and boron. The iron ...
polarity
Materials science; Magnetics
The characteristic of a particular pole at a particular location of a permanent magnet. Differentiates the North from the South Pole.
pole pieces
Materials science; Magnetics
Steel plates attached to the north and south poles of a magnet which direct the lines of flux and can control the gradient of the magnetic field.
pull force
Materials science; Magnetics
The force required to pull a magnet free from a flat steel plate using force perpendicular to the surface. The limit of the holding power of a magnet. The pull force listed is ...
