Variable-reluctance -
Reluctance in the context of cartridges is the resistance to a
magnetic field offered by an air gap. One pole piece of a magnet is
split through a pair of coils to twin faces, in proximity to which
is a ferrous moving member linked to the stylus and connected to the
other pole. Movement varies the air gap between the member and one
face, hence also the magnetic flux through the circuit and coil.
