Define permeability and reluctivity of magnetic material. 

1 Answer

Answer :

Permeability is the capability of a specific material to allow the flow of magnetic flux more easily. Thus higher permeability enables a material to pass more magnetic flux.

Reluctivity is equal to the ratio of the intensity of the magnetic field to the magnetic induction of the material.
