[The] leakage flux of a magnetic circuit [is] that part of the flux which does not flow in the main (intended) path.

La perméabilité relative du circuit magnétique n'a pas une valeur infinie par rapport à celle de l'air. Il en découle que tout le flux produit par la source n'est pas entièrement canalisé dans le circuit magnétique. Une partie du flux nommée flux de fuite passe dans l'air ambiant, empruntant des trajets plus ou moins raccourcis. 2, record 1, French, - flux%20de%20fuite
