Glossary of terms for the magnetics industry Select a letter: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z U V Volt The difference of potential between two points. In a conductor carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt, there being no source of emf between the points W Water Cooled A means to cool a section of an electromagnet by forcing water through cooling plates to cool down the face of a section. Watt The power expended when there is an unvarying current of one ampere between two points having a potential difference of one volt. Winding Core Tube A non-magnetic cylinder used exclusively to wind the conducting material onto. Weber The practical unit of magnetic flux. It is the amount of magnetic flux which, when linked at a uniform rate with a single-turn electric circuit during an interval of 1 second, will induce in this circuit an electromotive force of 1 volt. 1 Weber = 108 Maxwells. X Y Yield Strength The stress level at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from proportionality of stress and strain. Beyond this stress level, the tensile sample will not return to its original configuration or cross section. Z Please send all web related questions/comments to the Webmaster.
