Direction: Solve the following problems. Write your solutions on your assignment
notebook. Write legibly and box your final answer.
1. A ferromagnetic core is shown below. The depth of the core is 5 cm. The other
dimensions of the core are as shown in the figure. Find the value of the current that
will produce a flux of 0.003 Wb. With this current, what is the flux density at the top of
the core? What is the flux density at the right side of the core? Assume that the
relative permeability of the core is 1000.
2. An iron ring has a cross-sectional area of 400 mm2 and a mean diameter of 25
cm. It is wound with 500 turns. If the value of relative permeability is 500, find the
total flux set-up in the ring. The coil resistance is 400 Ω and the supply voltage is 200
V.
Ans. 0.08 mWb
3. An iron ring of mean diameter 22 cm and cross-section 10 cm2 has an air gap 1
mm wide. The ring is wound uniformly with 200 turns of wire. The permeability of ring
material is 1000. A flux of 0.16 mWb is required in the gap. What current should be
passed through the wire?
4. An iron ring has cross-section 3 cm2 and a mean diameter of 25 cm. An air gap of
0.4 mm has been made by saw cut across the section. The ring is wound with 200
turns through which a current of 2 A is passed. If the total flux is 21 × 10–5 weber,
find μ for iron assuming no leakage.
Ans. 2470
Ans. 0.1256 T
Ans. 0.00248 Wb (center), 0.00135 Wb (left), 0.00113Wb (right); 0.262 T (left air
gap), 0.220 T (right air gap)
