Flux linkage

In electrical engineering the term flux linkage is used to define the interaction of a multi-turn inductor with the magnetic flux as described by the Faraday's law of induction. Since the contributions of all turns in the coil add up, in the over-simplified situation of the same flux ${\displaystyle \Phi }$ passing through all the turns, the flux linkage (also known as flux linked) is ${\displaystyle \Psi =n\Phi }$, where ${\displaystyle n}$ is the number of turns. The physical limitations of the coil and the configuration of the magnetic field make some flux to leak between the turns of the coil, forming the leakage flux and reducing the linkage. The flux linkage is measured in webers (Wb), like the flux itself.
