Magnetic capacitance (capacitive magnetic reactance) (SI Unit: -Ω-1) is a magnetic "reactance" which prevents magnetic "current" in oscillating magnetic circuits from rising. This is associated with high reluctance.
For harmonic regimes it is equal to:
Where:
- CM is the magnetic capacitivity (SI Unit: -s·Ω-1)
- ω is the angular frequency of the magnetic circuit
In complex form it is written as a negative imaginary number:
The electrical potential energy sustained by Magnetic capacitivity varies with the frequency of oscillations in magnetic fields. The average power in a given period is equal to zero. The magnetic capcitvity is a reactive part of the magnetic circuit[1, 2].[1][2]
