Air gap (magnetic)
text:
Air gap in magnetic circuits is a term used to define an intentional gap left in the magnetic material. In stationary devices, like inductors and transformers, the air gap is used for a few purposes: to minimize the magnetic saturation of their cores due to the direct current (DC) that might be flowing through the coils. Without saturation the inductance of a choke stays constant regardless of the DC current flowing;
counter-intuitively, if a DC magnetization is present in an inductor, an increa
