2. A 680 turns coil is wound on the central limb of the cast steel frame as shown in Fig. 2. A total
flux of 1.6 mWb is required in the gap, find what current is required. Assume that the gap
density is uniform and that all lines pass straight across the gap. Dimensions are in cms.

establish a flux of 0.8mWb in the air gap of the central limb. Determine the mmf of the exciting

4. In the magnetic circuit shown in Fig. 4, the area of cross section of the central limb is 12cm2
and that of each outer limb (A to B) is 6 cm2. A coil current of 0.5 A produces 0.5 mWb in the

(NOTE: LV winding turns may be considered as 20 instead of 18.7 for some advantages in
winding manufacturing in practice. Hence, HV winding turns are also accordingly considered).

(a) Total load impedance reflected to the primary.
(b) Total current drawn from the supply.
