An electric machine includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is configured to generate rotational motion. The stator is disposed radially about the rotor. The stator has a core and windings. The core defines a first array of orifices about an inner diameter of the core and a second array of orifices radially outward from the first array of orifices. The windings are disposed within the first array of orifices. A magnetic material is configured to advance into and retract from the second array of orifices to adjust a magnetic flux within an airgap defined between the rotor and the stator.
