Definitions:

Flux Leakage

The number of magnetic flux lines that radiate into space and do not cut through the conductors of an inductor or secondary winding of a transformer.

Magnetizing Flux

The magnetic field generated in a material, or space, by the flow of electric current or by magnetization.

Flux Coupling

The process or degree to which magnetic lines of force pass from one component to another, such as in transformers.

Flux Reactance

The opposition that inductance offers to alternating current due to the magnetic flux linkage.
