[/ɪˌlɛktrəʊmæɡˈnɛtɪk ˈkʌplɪŋ/]
nounpl: electromagnetic couplings
acoplamento eletromagnético
1. A method of transferring energy or signals between two circuits or devices through electromagnetic fields without direct physical contact
The transformer uses electromagnetic coupling to transfer electrical energy between primary and secondary coils.
O transformador usa acoplamento eletromagnético para transferir energia elétrica entre os enrolamentos primário e secundário.
2. The interaction between two electrical circuits or components mediated by magnetic fields
Electromagnetic coupling in the antenna design allows for efficient signal transmission.
O acoplamento eletromagnético no design da antena permite uma transmissão eficiente de sinais.
3. A technique in electrical engineering where energy is transmitted inductively rather than through conductive paths
Wireless charging systems rely on electromagnetic coupling between coils.
Os sistemas de carregamento sem fio dependem do acoplamento eletromagnético entre as bobinas.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in engineering, physics, and telecommunications fields. In Brazil, it is commonly encountered in academic and industrial contexts related to electrical engineering and technology. The term is essential in discussions of transformers, wireless power transfer, and RF (radiofrequency) engineering. In Portugal, the spelling 'electromagnético' (with 'h') is preferred due to Portuguese orthographic conventions.
