(b) MMF = 552.621 AT
Air gap length, l g = 1 × 10−3 m
Reluctance of air gap, R g = l g /µ0 A = 2.65 × 106 AT/Wb
Total Reluctance, R T = R + R g = (1.1 + 2.65) × 106 = 3.75 × 106 AT/Wb
Flux, φ = MMF/R T = 147.4µWb

3. A steel ring has a mean diameter of 15 cm, a cross sectional area of 20 cm2 and a
radial air gap of 0.5 mm cut in it. The ring is uniformly wound with 1500 turns of
insulated wire and a magnetizing current of 1 A produces a flux of 1 mWb in the
air gap. Neglect the effect of magnetic leakage and fringing.

(b) Calculate the relative permeability of the steel
Solution:

(a) d = 15 × 10−2 m
l = πd = 0.471 m
Area, A = 20 × 10−4 m2
Air gap length, l g = 0.5 × 10−3 m
Number of turns, N = 1500
Magnetizing current, i = 1 A
Flux, φ = 1 mWb
MMF = N × i = 1500 AT Reluctance of the magnetic circuit, R T = MMF/φ =
1.5 × 106 AT/Wb

(b) Reluctance of air gap, R g = l g /µ0 A = 1.98 × 105 AT/Wb


Total Reluctance, R T = R + R g = R + 1.98 × 105 = 1.5 × 106
Reluctance of steel ring, R = l/µ0 µr A = 1.3 × 106 AT/Wb
Hence, µr = 144.157

4. A hysteresis loop is plotted against a horizontal axis which scales 1000A/m = 1cm

= 1800 J/m3 /cycle
(b) Maximum flux density, Bmax = Total height of the curve /2 = 14 × 0.2/2 =

7. Each of two air gaps of a moving coil instrument is 2.5 mm long and has a cross
sectional area of 600 mm2 . If the flux density is 0.08 T, calculate the total energy
stored in the magnetic field of the air gap in milli Joules (round off your answer
upto 1 decimal).
Solution:
Total Air gap length, l = L g1 + L g2 = (2.5 + 2.5) × 10−3 m
Area, A = 600 × 10−6 m2
Flux density, B = 0.08 T
Reluctance, R = l/(µ0 A) = 6.631 × 106 AT/Wb
MMF = Flux × reluctance = ( B × A)× reluctance = 318.3 = N I
Energy = 0.5 × LI 2 = 0.5 × ( LI ) × I = 0.5 × ( N × Flux ) × I
as N × Flux = L × I
Therefore, Energy = 7.639 mJ

8. The flux density in air at a point 40 mm from the centre of a long straight conductor
A is 0.03 T. Assuming that the return conductor is a considerable distance away,
calculate the current.
Solution:
Radius, r = 40 × 10−3 m
Flux density, B = µ0 H = 0.03 T
Field strength, H = B/µ0 = 23873.24 A/m
H = i/2πr = i/(2π × 40 × 10−3 ) = 23873.24 A/m
Hence, i = 6000 A
