Magnetic path length
| Stan Zurek, Magnetic path length, Encyclopedia Magnetica https://E-Magnetica.pl/magnetic_path_length |
Magnetic path length, path length or magnetic path, typically represented by the symbol $l$ for “length” 1)2)3) or MPL4) - is the effective path taken by the magnetic flux in a magnetic core or magnetic circuit. The path is measured in the units of length (e.g. metres).
The concept of path length is used in calculations such as: deriving the value of magnetic field strength H from the magnetising current1) in a closed magnetic circuit3), magnetic reluctance4), effective permeability4), and many more.
