1) For a certain relay, the magnetization curves for open and closed positions of
the armature are Linear. If the armature of the relay moves from open to closed
position at constant current (i.e. very slowly), show that the electrical energy
input is shared equal y between field energy stored and the mechanical work
done.
2) For the simple magnetic relay
shown in Figure, the variation of
flux linkage Ψ in terms of current
i and displacement x from the
open position is given by the
relation Ψ = ix1/2 .
Obtain an expression for the
magnetic force.
7) A coil and plunger magnet is shown in figure. The coil has 1500 turns and
carries a constant current of 3 amperes. All the reluctance is assumed to be
offered by the air-gap g. Magnetic leakage and fringing is neglected.
(a) For gap lengths of 2.0, 1.50, 1.00 and 0.5 cm, find air-gap flux densities
and coil inductances.
(b) Find the energy stored in the magnetic field for different gap-lengths
given in part (a).
(c) Compute the electromagnetic forces for the corresponding gap lengths.
(d) Find the mechanical work done, if the plunger is allowed to move slowly
from g = 2.0 cm to g = 0.5 cm.
(e) If the coil resistance is neglected, find the electrical energy supplied by
the source for the conditions of part (d).
8) For the mechanical configuration
shown figure, assume that all the
field energy is present in the
overlapping regions. The radius r is
much greater than air-gap length g.
Calculate the magnitude of torque,
when the maximum flux density in
the air-gap is limited to 2.2 T. The
other data are as follows :
Radius r = 50mm
Gap length g = 2 mm
Length normal to radius r is l = 10 mm
