Variation of reluctance is the principle behind the reluctance motor (or the variable reluctance generator) and the Alexanderson alternator. Another way of saying this is that the reluctance forces strive for a maximally aligned magnetic circuit and a minimal air gap distance.
Loudspeakers used in conjunction with computer monitors or other screens are typically shielded magnetically, in order to reduce magnetic interference caused to the screens such as in televisions or CRTs.[7] The speaker magnet is covered with a material such as soft iron to minimize the stray magnetic field.
