2. Define permeability and explain the importance of the permeability of a magnetic material.

 *
Magnetic permeability also referred to as permeability in electromagnetism is a property of a
magnetic material which supports the formation of a magnetic field. The term was coined by Oliver
Heaviside in the year 1885. Magnetic permeability is a property that basically allows magnetic lines
of force to pass through a material.
In other words, the magnetic permeability of a material can also be said to be its magnetization
capability. This helps in determining how much of magnetic flux can the material support which will
pass through it. In addition, magnetic permeability of a material helps us measure a material's
resistance to the magnetic field or measure of the degree to which magnetic field can penetrate
through a material.

3. What three terms in magnetic circuit may be likened to those in the Ohm’s law equation for
electric circuit? *
The three terms in magnetic circuit may be likened to those in the Ohm’s law equation for
electric circuit are magnetic flux, magnetomotive force, and magnetic reluctance in
an unsaturated magnetic circuit can be described by Hopkinson's law, which bears a superficial
resemblance to Ohm's law in electrical circuits, resulting in a one-to-one correspondence between
properties of a magnetic circuit and an analogous electric circuit. Using this concept the magnetic
fields of complex devices such as transformers can be quickly solved using the methods and
techniques developed for electrical circuits.

4. Compare the behavior of a parallel magnetic circuit to that of the parallel electric
circuit. 

A magnetic circuit having two or more than two paths for the magnetic flux
is called a parallel magnetic circuit. Its behaviour can be compared to the
parallel electric circuit. The parallel magnetic circuit contains different
dimensional areas and materials having various numbers of paths.  On the
other hand, in a parallel circuit, charge divides up into separate branches such that there can be
more current in one branch than there is in another. Nonetheless, when taken as a whole, the
total amount of current in all the branches when added together is the same as the amount of
current at locations outside the branches.
