With uniform section and negligible magnetic fringing, constant magnetic flux gives equal magnetic flux densities in the core and gap:Here is the core arc length and the additional gap length. Applying the magnetostatic Ampère law around the complete magnetic circuit,Consequently,This tends to when the gap dominates the magnetic reluctance, , and reduces to the no-gap result as . The gap magnetic flux density is .
