Dynamic loudspeaker inductance
QuickField simulation example
Problem Type
Axisymmetric multiphysics problem of magnetostatics coupled to AC magnetics.
Geometry
Given
Permanent magnet coercive force Hc = 500 kA/m
Coil current i = 0.1 A
Magnetic permeability of core - B-H curve:
Task
Calculate the loudspeaker coil inductance with respect to core saturation.
Solution
Magnetic state of the core affects the inductance value. The problem is solved in two steps. First the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is simulated and the core permeability (magnetic state) is calculated. The magnetic state is then imported in the second problem. In the second problem the magnetic field of the coil is simulated and the inductance is calculated.
Result
Core saturation caused by permanent magnet. Coil inductance L = 1.5 mH.
