coefficient of coupling
[/koʊˈɛfɪʃənt əv ˈkʌplɪŋ/]
nounpl: coefficients of coupling
coeficiente de acoplamento
1. A dimensionless quantity that measures the degree of magnetic coupling between two inductors or coils, ranging from 0 (no coupling) to 1 (perfect coupling)
The coefficient of coupling between the two transformers was calculated to be 0.95, indicating very efficient magnetic transfer.
O coeficiente de acoplamento entre os dois transformadores foi calculado como 0,95, indicando uma transferência magnética muito eficiente.
2. In electrical engineering, a parameter denoted by 'k' that describes how effectively magnetic flux from one coil links with another coil
A higher coefficient of coupling ensures better power transmission in wireless energy transfer systems.
Um coeficiente de acoplamento mais alto garante melhor transmissão de potência em sistemas de transferência de energia sem fio.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in electrical engineering, physics, and telecommunications. It is equally understood in Brazil and Portugal within academic and professional engineering contexts. The concept is fundamental to the design of transformers, inductors, and wireless power transmission systems.
