Magnetic circuits
Solution
Problem (1):
A two-legged core is shown in the figure. The winding on the left leg (N1) has 600
turns, and the winding on the right (N2) has 200 turns. The coils are wound in the
directions shown in the figure. If the dimensions are as shown, then what flux will
be produced by currents i1 = 0.5 A and i2 =1.0 A? Assume μr =1000 and constant.
Solution:
Hint: Use right hand rule to determine the direction of the flux and consequently
Solution:
The flux in the right and left legs using flux divider rule are:
Calculate the flux density in the air gap of the magnetic circuit shown in the figure.
Assume μr =2000 and constant.

Solution:
A core with three legs is shown in the figure. Its depth is 5 cm, and there are 200
turns on the left most leg.100 turns on the right most leg. The relative permeability
of the core can be assumed 1500 and constant. What flux exists in each of the three
legs of the core? What is the flux density in each of the legs?

The magnetic circuit shown in the figure has two windings and two air gaps. The
core can be assumed to be of infinite permeability. The core dimensions are
indicated in the figure. Find the self-inductances of windings 1 and 2 and the
mutual inductance between the windings.
