unwillingness to do something
A feeling of not wanting to do something.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone]'s reluctance to [do something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes write *"reluctancy"* instead of the correct noun "reluctance." Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, for example *"reluctance of do"* instead of the correct pattern "reluctance to do [something]."

opposition to magnetic flux
A technical measure of how much a material or path stops or blocks magnetic flow in a magnetic circuit.
Padron ng paggamit:
the reluctance of [a material or core]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse this technical sense with the everyday emotional sense of "reluctance." In physics contexts, it does not describe feelings; it describes a property of a magnetic circuit.
Mga kasingkahulugan
magnetic resistance (An informal, explanatory term used to compare reluctance to electrical resistance; not the precise technical term.)
Mga kasalungat
permeance (A technical opposite: high permeance means low reluctance, allowing magnetic flux to pass easily.)
