What is another name for magnetomotive force?

  • Magnetic potential

  • Magnetic flux

  • Magnetic field

  • Magnetic resonance

Answer

Magnetic potential, also known as magnetomotive force, is a measure of the ability of an electric current to produce a magnetic field. It is analogous to electromotive force in electric circuits and is measured in units of amperes. Magnetic potential is directly proportional to the current flowing through a conductor and the number of turns in a coil.
