Two coils of self-inductances 150 mH and 250 mH and of mutual inductance 120 mH are
connected in parallel. Determine the equivalent inductance of the combination (i) if mutual flux
helps the individual fluxes, and (ii) mutual flux opposes the individual fluxes.
[Ans. 0.144 H, 0.036 H]
4. An iron ring of mean diameter 19.1 cm and having a cross sectional area of 4 cm2 is
required to produce a flux of 0.44 mWb. Find the coil MMF required. Further if a saw cut 1 mm
wide is made in the ring, how many extra ampere turns are required to maintain the same flux.
The B-μ curve is as follows:
B (Wb/m2) 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4
μr 2300 2000 1600 1100

5. A laminated soft iron ring has a mean circumference of 600 mm, cross sectional area of
500 mm2 and has a radial air gap of 1 mm cut through it. It is wound with a coil of 1000 turns.
Estimate the current in the coil to produce a flux of 0.5 mWb in the air gap assuming:
(i) the relative permeability of the soft iron is 1000, (ii) the leakage factor is 1.2 and the
fringing is negligible.

6. A cast steel magnetic structure made of a bar of section 2 cm x 2 cm is shown. Determine

the current that the 500 turn magnetizing coil on the left limb should carry so that a flux of 2
mWb is produced in the right limb. Take relative permeability as 600 and neglect leakage.
