Magnetic Tape Heads

Magnetic Tape Heads for reel-to-reel tape recorders - A magnetic tape head is a small electromagnetic transducer in tape recorders that converts electrical signals into magnetic fields (recording) and vice versa (playback). It typically features a coil wrapped around a ferrite core with a tiny gap, which concentrates magnetic flux to interact with the tape's magnetic particles.

A magnetic head is an electromagnetic device used to read from, write to, or erase data on a magnetic medium by converting electrical signals into magnetic flux and vice versa.
