1. An iron ring has a circular cross- sectional area of 7 cm
2
and a mean
circumference of 80 cm. The ring is uniformly wound with the coil of 600 turns.
Relative permeability of iron is 800.
A. Find the current required to produce a flux of 0.4mWb in the ring.
B. If a saw cut of 2 mm wide is made in the ring, find the flux produced, if the
current is same as found in part(A).
C. Find the current which would give the same flux as in part (A).
2. Two coils of 12000 turns and of 15000 turns lie in parallel planes so that 45% of
flux produced by the first coil links with the second coil. A current of 5A in the
first coil produces 0.05 mWb while the same current in the second coil produces
0.075mWb.Calculate a) The mutual inductance b) The coupling coefficients.

3. An electromagnet has a mean length of 48 cm with the area of cross-section of
the core 10 cm
2
. It has an air gap of 0.5 cm width. The electromagnet is excited
by a coil with 1000 turns. The current in the coil is 0.8 A, relative permeability
of the core material is 1250. Neglecting leakage and fringing , calculate : (i)
reluctance of iron path of the magnetic circuit, (ii) reluctance of the air gap, (iii)
total reluctance, (iv) total flux, and (v) flux density in the gap.

4. A magnetic core made up of an alloy has the dimensions as shown in Fig. 1.
Calculate the exciting current required to produce a flux of 1 m Wb in the air
gap, neglecting leakage and fringing. The B-H curve for the core material is as
follows:


B(T) 1 1.2 1.42 1.513 1.6
H(At/m) 200 400 1792 3300 6000


5. The magnetic circuit shown Fig. 2 is made of iron having a square cross- section
of 3 cm side. It has two parts A and B, with relative permeabilities of 1000 and
1200 respectively, separated by two air gaps, each 2 mm wide. The part B is
wound with a total of 1000 turns of wire on the two side limbs and carries a
current of 1 A. Calculate (a) The reluctance of part A, (b) the reluctance of part
B, (c) the reluctance of air gaps, (d)the total reluctance of the complete magnetic
circuit, (e) the mmf, (f) the flux , and (g) the flux density.
