1. What is Flux Linkage Sensitivity?

Flux Linkage Sensitivity is the capability of a device to react to alterations in magnetic flux linking its coils, indicating its responsiveness to changes in magnetic field strength.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \Phi = \frac{S_g}{R_g} \]

Where:

\( \Phi \) — Flux Linkage Sensitivity
\( S_g \) — Ballistic Sensitivity (Radian per Coulomb)
\( R_g \) — Galvanometer Circuit Resistance (Ohm)

Explanation: This formula calculates the flux linkage sensitivity by dividing the ballistic sensitivity by the galvanometer circuit resistance.

3. Importance of Flux Linkage Sensitivity

Details: Flux Linkage Sensitivity is crucial in electromagnetic measurement systems as it determines how effectively a device can detect and respond to changes in magnetic flux, which is essential for accurate measurements in various electrical and electronic applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter Ballistic Sensitivity in Radian per Coulomb and Galvanometer Circuit Resistance in Ohm. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
