Permanent magnet constitutive relation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hey guys!

I'm trying to model a system of permanent magnets and was just wondering what the constitutive relation should be used: the magnetisation one B = \mu_0H + \mu_0M, or the remanent flux one B = µ_0µ_rH + ???B_r ?
From what I've seen, both seem to be used in the literature...

Thanks for the help :)

Hi

both are equivalent if you apply the physics correctly and you input the correct values, I mostly use the Magnetisation fr permanent magnets, as it's often what I have as "correct" specified values

Good luck
