inductive coupling coefficient

[ɪnˈdʌktɪv ˈkʌplɪŋ ˌkoʊɪˈfɪʃənt]
nounpl: inductive coupling coefficients
coeficiente de acoplamento indutivo
1. A dimensionless quantity (ranging from 0 to 1) that measures the degree of magnetic coupling between two inductors or coils, representing the fraction of magnetic flux from one coil that links with another coil.
The inductive coupling coefficient between the two coils is 0.85, indicating strong magnetic coupling.
O coeficiente de acoplamento indutivo entre as duas bobinas é 0,85, indicando um forte acoplamento magnético.
2. In transformer and inductor design, a measure of efficiency in energy transfer between primary and secondary windings, where a coefficient of 1 represents perfect coupling and 0 represents no coupling.
A higher inductive coupling coefficient improves the transformer's efficiency and reduces energy loss.
Um coeficiente de acoplamento indutivo mais alto melhora a eficiência do transformador e reduz a perda de energia.
This is a specialized technical term primarily used in electrical engineering, physics, and electronics fields. It is part of the standard international scientific nomenclature and maintains consistent usage across both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese-speaking countries. The concept is fundamental in transformer design and wireless power transfer technologies, which are increasingly important in modern electronics and renewable energy applications.
