Electromagnets play a very important role in the working of electric and electromechanical devices. Flux distribution is of paramount importance to calculate magnetic force which helps in optimal utilization of power which can be done by changing the position of object to be magnetized or attracted, these types of applications can be seen in MR fluids, Magnetic levitations, Particle accelerators. Failure of these machines may cause a lot of loss so it's very necessary to study the various ways to increase their reliability and efficiency. These electromechanical devices are mainly built on the principle of electromagnets and hence this literature review is aimed at studying the distribution of magnetic flux between the two poles of strong electromagnets along different planes. So, to analyze the flux density distribution a robot with a probe was designed and programmed to move along Y-Z plane and the flux density recorded in each plane is graphically represented.
