Magnetic unit/circuit- The closed path followed by magnetic lines of forces is

called the magnetic circuit. In the magnetic circuit, magnetic flux or magnetic lines
of force starts from a point and ends at the same point after completing its path.
is made up of magnetic materials having high permeability such as iron, soft steel,
etc. Magnetic circuits are used in various devices like electric motor, transformers,
relays, generators galvanometer, etc.

Magneto motive force- also known as magnetic potential, is the property of

certain substances or phenomena that gives rise to magnetic field s. Magneto
motive force is analogous to electromotive force or voltage in electricity.
