Tutorial 5: Magnetic Measurements

1. An iron ring of 3.5 cm2 cross-sectional area with a mean length of 100 cm is wound
with a magnetizing winding of 100 turns. A secondary coil of 200 turns of wire is connected
to a ballistic galvanometer having a constant of 1 micro-coulomb per scale division, the
total resistance of the secondary circuit being 2 kΩ. On reversing a current of 10 A in the
magnetizing coil, the galvanometer gave a throw of 100 scale divisions. Calculate the flux
density in the specimen and the value of the permeability at this flux density. (Answer: B
= 1.43 wb/m2, µ = 1.43 × 10-3 H/m)

2. A magnetic circuit consists of an annular ring of mean diameter 15 cm with a single


narrow saw-cut through the ring. The width of the saw-cut is 0.1 cm and the cross-sectional
area of the ring is 4 cm2 with a magnetization curve given by the following table:
H (At/m) 40 80 120 160 800 1600 3200
B (Wb/m2) 0.37 0.72 0.92 1.04 1.4 1.47 1.55

A coil of 400 turns is uniformly wound on the ring. Estimate the current in the coil required
causing a flux of 0.28 mWb in the air gap formed by the saw-cut. (Answer: I = 1.49 A)

3. A fluxmeter with a 30 turns search coil and an area of 50 cm2 shows a 100 divisions
difference between two successive deflections. Assuming that the air damping effect and
the resistance, both are small:
i) calculate the change of flux linkages of the search coil, when the produced flux density
is 1 Wb/m2, given that the fluxmeter internal coil is 50 turns.
ii) It is proposed to extend the range of fluxmeter to measure flux densities 5 times the
above using the same search coil and method of reversals. If the resistance of search coil
is 1, find the resistance of the shunt to be connected in parallel with the fluxmeter.
(Answer: i) Δ = 0.5 wb, ii) Rs = 0.25Ω)

4. An iron ring has a mean diameter of 0.1 m and a cross section of 33.5 × 10-6 m2. It is
wound with a magnetizing winding of 340 turns and the secondary winding of 220 turns.
On reversing a current of 10 A in the magnetizing winding, a ballistic galvanometer gives
a throw of 272 scale divisions, while a Hilbert Magnetic Standard (Bar Sample) with 10

turns and a flux of 2.5 × 10-4 weber gives a reading of 102 scale divisions, other conditions
remaining the same. Find the relative permeability of the specimens. (Answer: µr = 33.089)

5. Magnetic property of a bar sample is measured using the setup as shown in Figure Q5.
The experiment was done by pulling it out quickly from the conducting coil that is
connected to a ballistic galvanometer, G. It is observed that the galvanometer shows a
deflection of 5 divisions when the sample is pulled. The galvanometer constant is 140
µC/div and it has an internal resistance of 3 Ω. Meanwhile, the coil has 30 turns, with a
resistance of 12 Ω and a cross sectional area of 4 cm2.
i) Determine the magnetic flux, ϕ cutting the coil that causes the deflection.
ii) Calculate the flux density inside the coil, B. [Supplementary Exam 2018]
(Answer: (i) ϕ = 3.50 × 10-4 wb, (ii) B = 0.875 wb/m2 )

6. The values in the Table below are for the magnetizing curve of an iron ring of 1 cm2
cross-sectional area and 8 cm diameter. The values were collected using a standard DC
magnetic testing experiment using a ballistic galvanometer (BG). The magnetizing coil of
50 turns and the search coil of 30 turns is uniformly wound on the ring. The BG constant
is 5µC/division and the resistance of the secondary circuit is 15 Ω.

(ii) When the magnetizing force is 90 At/m, how many divisions is the first
deflection in the BG?
(iii) Determine the relative permeability of the sample at the flux density of 1.35.

Self-Test Question
7. A magnetizing winding of 60-turns wound uniformly on an iron ring having a mean
diameter of 0.1m and a cross-sectional area of 1cm2. A secondary winding of 20-turns is
connected to a fluxmeter having a constant of 0.1×10-3 weber turn per division. When a
current of 2A is reversed in the primary winding, a deflection of 33 divisions is observed.

8. An experimental setup consisting of a ballistic galvanometer (BG), a reversal switch, a


DC power supply, and two coils was used to measure a ring sample's magnetic
permeability. The coil that is connected to the power supply is wound uniformly with 80
turns on the sample. Another coil is connected to the BG, wound on the sample with 50
turns. The average diameter of the sample is 12 cm, and the cross-sectional area is 4 cm2.
The BG constant is 10 µC/div. The total resistance in the circuit connected to the BG is 5
kΩ. When a 15 A current from the power supply is reversed, the ballistic galvanometer
gives a throw of 120 scale divisions. Determine the relative permeability of the sample
given that 𝜇0 = 4𝜋 × 10−7. [Module Test 2, March 2021]
