1) The magnetic circuit of Fig has cast steel core with dimensions as shown:
Mean length from A to B through either outer limb=0.5m
Mean length from A to B through the central limb =0.2m
In the magnetic circuit shown it is required to establish a flux of 0.75 mWb in the air-
gap of the central limb. Determine the mmf of the exciting coil if for the core material
(a) µr = ∞ (b) µr = 5000. Neglect fringing.

2) The magnetic circuit of Fig has cast steel core. The cross-sectional area of the central
limb is 800 mm2 and that of each outer limb is 600 mm2. Calculate the exciting current
needed to set up a flux of 0.8 mWb in the air gap. Neglect magnetic leakage and
fringing. The magnetization characteristic of cast steel is given in Fig.
3) A cast steel ring has a circular cross-section of 3 cm in diameter and a mean
circumference of 80 cm. A 1 mm air-gap is cut out in the ring which is wound with a
coil of 600 turns. (a) Estimate the current required to establish a flux of 0.75 mWb in
the air-gap. Neglect fringing and leakage. (b) What is the flux produced in the air-gap
if the exciting current is 2 A? Neglect fringing and leakage.

4) For the magnetic circuit of Fig, find the flux density and flux in each of the outer limbs
and the central limbs. Assume the relative permeability of iron of the core to be (a) ∞
, (b) 4500.

5) For the magnetic circuit shown in Fig. P.2.3, calculate the exciting current required to
establish a flux of 2 mWb in the air-gap. Take fringing into account empirically. Use
the B-H curve of Fig. 2.15.
6) In the magnetic circuit shown in Fig. P.2.6, the coil F1 is supplying 4000 AT in the
direction indicated. Find the AT of coil F2 and current direction to produce air-gap flux
of 4 mWb from top to bottom. The relative permeability of iron may be taken as 2500.

7) For the magnetic circuit shown in Fig. P.2.7, the air-gap flux is 0.24 mWb and the
number of turns of the coil wound on the central limb is 1000. Calculate (a) the flux in
the central limb, (b) the current required. The magnetization curve of the core is as
follows:
H(AT/m) 200 400 500 600 800 1060 1400
B(T) 0.4 0.8 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4

8) The magnetic circuit shown in Fig. P.2.8 has a coil of 500 turns wound on the central
limb which has an air-gap of 1 mm. The magnetic path from A to B via each outer limb
is 100 cm and via the central limb 25 cm (airgap length excluded). The cross-sectional
area of the central limb is 5 cm x 3 cm and that each outer limb is 2.5 cm x 3 cm. A
current of 0.5 A in the coil produces an air-gap flux of 0.35 mWb. Find the relative
permeability of the medium.
9) The magnetic circuit of Fig. P.2.14 has a magnetic core of relative permeability 1600
and is wound with a coil of 1500 turns excited with sinusoidal ac voltage, as shown.
Calculate the maximum flux density of the core and the peak value of the exciting
current. What is the peak value of the energy stored in the magnetic system and what
percentage of it resides in the air-gap?

10) The material of the core of Fig. P.2.15, wound with two coils as shown, is sheet steel
(B-H curve of Fig. 2.15). Coil 2 carries a current 2 A in the direction shown. What
current (with direction) should coil 1 carry to establish a flux density of 1.4 T in the
core in the indicated direction?
