3 unusual facts about Wolfson Centre for Magnetics


Wolfson Centre for Magnetics

In 2000 Queen Elizabeth II visited Cardiff University and also saw some activity of the WCM.

In August 2005 Professor David Jiles was appointed as the new Director and the name of the Centre was changed to its current form Wolfson Centre for Magnetics to better reflect the range of activities being undertaken within the Centre, which includes not only magnetics technology but also basic scientific aspects of magnetics.

The power loss, permeability, apparent power, flux density, magnetic field, Barkhausen noise, magnetostriction characteristics of soft magnetic materials and hard magnetic materials can be measured with a range of test systems under DC, AC and rotational magnetising conditions.
