Magnetic circuit calculations
The different parts of the dc machine magnetic circuit / pole are yoke, pole, air gap, armature teeth and armature core. Therefore, the ampere magnetic circuit is the sum of the ampere That is,
AT / pole = ATy + ATp+ ATg

6. Leakage flux ab: Mean length of the flux path corresponding to one pole
Magnetic circuit of a 4 pole DC machine
Note: Leakage factor or Leakage coefficient LC.
All the flux produced by the pole will not pass through the desired path i.e., air gap. Some of the flux produced by the pole will be leaking away from the air gap. The flux that passes through the air gap and cut by the armature conductors is the useful flux and that flux that leaks away from the desired path is the leakage flux
where LC is the Leakage factor or Leakage coefficient and lies between (1.15 to 1.25). Magnitude of flux in different parts of the magnetic circuit
a) Flux in the yoke
b) Flux in the pole
c) Flux in the air gap
d) Flux in the armature teeth
e) Flux in the armature core
Reluctance of the air gap
Where
lg = Length of air gap
t = Width (pole arc) over which the flux is passing in the air gap
L = Axial length of the armature core
y t L = Air gap area / pole over which the flux is passing in the air gap
