Examples
-
When the switch is closed, a current flows through the primary coil and produces a magnetomotive force.
5. Magnetic Field 1991
-
The magnetomotive force can be increased if the same current is conducted several times through the field lines (Cp.Fig. 15).
2. Basic principles Hans-Friedrich Hoyer 1991
-
When we close the switch, a current passes through the coil producing a magnetomotive force.
5. Magnetic Field 1991
-
Since the field lines are closed in themselvers, we speak of a circle in which the magnetic field is caused by a magnetomotive force.
5. Magnetic Field 1991
-
In an unbranched magnetic circuit with several magnetic resistances connected in series, the total resistance Rmers is equal to the sum of the individual resistances; the sum of all magnetic potential drops is equal to the total magnetomotive force.
5. Magnetic Field 1991
-
It has included aerial photographic, magnetomotive and geologic surveys; the drilling of hundreds of stratigraphic test wells; all accomplished through the use of helicopters, Canadian-built deHavilland aircraft; muskeg tractors built by Bombardier of Quebec; trains, trucks and cars; and diesel-powered tugs and barges.
-
While the magnetomotive force or magnetizing force of a given helix is independent of the material of the core, the flux which it sets up is largely dependent on the material and shape of the core -- not only upon this but on the material that lies in the return path for the flux outside of the core.

-
As in the case of an electrical circuit, the amount of flow of current is equal to the electromotive force divided by the resistance; so in a magnetic circuit, the magnetic flux is equal to the magnetizing force or magnetomotive force divided by the reluctance.

-
_magnetomotive force_ and is analogous to electromotive force, that is, the force which tends to drive an electric current through a circuit.
Cyclopedia of Telephony & Telegraphy Vol. 1 A General Reference Work on Telephony, etc. etc. George Patterson 1910
-
The coil through which current flows is the seat of this magnetomotive force Q 1) It is the greater, the greater the current is and the more turns the coil includes.
