The air gaps on the left and right sides of the core are 0.050 and 0.070 cm,
respectively. If there are 300 turns in the coil wrapped around the center leg of
the core and if the current in the coil is 1.0 A, what is the flux in each of the left,

core (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 would be produced by currents i1 = 0.5 A and i2 =1.0 A?
Assume μr = 1000 and constant.

200 turns on the left most leg. The relative permeability of the core can be
assumed to be 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?
