Figure 2 shows a cylindrical iron-clad solenoid actuator which is used for tripping circuit breakers. When the coil current
is zero, the plunger drops against a stop such that the gap g is 2.25 cm. When the coil is energized by a direct current of
sufficiently large, the plunger is raised until it hits another stop set so that g is 0.2cm. The plunger is supported so that it
can move freely in the vertical direction. The radial air gap gı between the shell and the plunger can be assumed to be
uniform and 0.05 cm in length. The exciting coil has 1300 turns and carries a constant current of 2.3 A. Assume that
magnetic leakage and fringing in the air gaps and the MMF in the iron are negligible. Obtain the expressions for the flux
density, coenery, and force acting on the plunger as a function of air gap length g., and determine the values of force on the
plunger at g = 2.25 cm and g = 0.2 cm. P.S. The permeability of the free space is 4, = 4 • n • 10-7[H/m].
