What is another name for Steinmetz's work on hysteresis in alternating current theory?

  • Steinmetz's breakthrough

  • Steinmetz's discovery

  • Steinmetz's law

  • Steinmetz's idea

Answer

Steinmetz's law, also known as Steinmetz's formula, is a relationship between the hysteresis loop area and the maximum flux density in an alternating current electromagnet. It was developed by Charles Proteus Steinmetz in 1893 and is used to predict the magnetic losses in a ferromagnetic material. The law states that the hysteresis loop area is proportional to the square of the maximum flux density.
