A magnetic circuit consists of an iron ring of mean circumference 80 cm with cross-sectional area 12 cm2 throughout. A current of 2A in the magnetising coil of 200 turns produces a total flux of 1.2 mWb in the iron. Calculate : (a) the flux density in the iron (b) the absolute and relative permeabilities of iron (c) the reluctance of the circuit [ANSWER: 1 Wb/m2 ; 0.002, 1,590 ; 3.33 × 105 AT/Wb]

Question

A magnetic circuit consists of an iron ring of mean circumference 80 cm with cross-sectional area 12
cm2 throughout. A current of 2A in the magnetising coil of 200 turns produces a total flux of 1.2
mWb in the iron. Calculate :


(a) the flux density in the iron
(b) the absolute and relative permeabilities of iron
(c) the reluctance of the circuit

[ANSWER: 1 Wb/m2 ; 0.002, 1,590 ; 3.33 × 105 AT/Wb]
