The unit of reluctance is the Ampere-Turn per Weber (AT/Wb) or equivalently, the reciprocal Henry (H-1).
Reluctance, in the context of magnetic circuits, is analogous to resistance in electrical circuits. It represents the opposition to the establishment of a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit. The relationship is defined by:
Reluctance (ℜ) = Magnetomotive Force (MMF) / Magnetic Flux (Φ)
- Magnetomotive Force (MMF) is measured in Ampere-Turns (AT).
- Magnetic Flux (Φ) is measured in Webers (Wb).
Therefore, the unit of Reluctance (ℜ) is AT/Wb or H-1.
