| EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) |
| A
useful definition of EMI noise is any signigicant signal energy that
causes unintended, undesirable circuit function or inadequate EMC
performance. |
|
| AC
Initial Permeability (£giac) |
| This
is the limit value of magnetic core permeability at the origin of
the virgin magnetization curve. It's given by the following formula: |
|
|
|
| Inductance
(L): |
| The
magnetic flux linkages in Maxwells-turns per ampere of magnetizing
current. |
|
|
|
| Inductance
Factor (AL) |
| Inductance
factor is defined as the self inductance per unit turn of a coil of
a given shape and dimension wound on a magnetic core, and is determined
by the following formula: |
|
|
|
| Quality
Factor (Q): |
| The
efficiency of an inductor, that is the ratio of series inductive reactance
to loss resistance. |
|
|
| Loss
factor (tan£_): |
| Deviation
from ideal phase angle (90°)
due to losses. |
|
|
|
|
| Relative
Loss Factor (tan£_
/£giac) |
| Losses
per unit of permeability. Figure merit of a material. |
|
|
|
| Curie
Temperature (Tc): |
| emperature
at which a ferromagnetic material loses its ferromagnetism and becomes
paramagnetic(£g
approaches 1) |
| |
|
| Relative
Temperature Coefficient of lnitial permeability
(£\£gr):
|
| This
is the value obtained by dividing the temperature coefficient of the
initial permeability(£\£g)
by the initial permeability. |

| Specific
Gravity (d) |
| It's
calculated from its volume and weight, as shown below: |
