When a magnetic material such as iron is subject to a magnetic field, the atoms tend to line up with the field, increasing its effect. Magnetic reluctance is a measure of how much magnetic field is required to produce a given magnetic effect. Fresh air is non-magnetic and so has a high reluctance, unlike iron, which is very susceptible to magnetism.
