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.

3) In the electromagnetic relay, functional relay between the current i in the


exciting coil, the position of armature x and the flux linkage Ψ is given by
i = 2 Ψ3 + 3 Ψ (1- x- x2), x > 0.5
Find the force on the armature as a function of Ψ.
4) The simple magnetic relay of figure shown in problem 2 gave the following
Ψ-i characteristics:
Open position, Ψ = 0.04i wb/turns for all values of current i,
Closed position, Ψ = 0.06i 0 ≤ i ≥ 20
Ψ = 1.2 + 0.03 (i-20) i ≥ 20.
For an armature movement from open to closed position, find the magnitude
of average magnetic force. The air-gap length is 2 cm and the current during
the armature movement is assumed to remain constant at 40 Amps.
5) For the electromagnet shown in
Figure, obtain an expression for
the magnetic force fe . The
reluctance is assumed to be
offered by the air gap alone.
Magnetic leakage and fringing are
neglected.
6) A movable part of an
electromagnet is displaced
axially by an amount of 1 mm as
shown in Figure. If the gap-
length g, equal to 3 mm, is held
constant, Find the force tending
to bring them into axial
alignment.
The other data are given below :
Pote width, wp = 6 mm
Flux density in the air-gap = 0.8
Wb/m2 or tesla.

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

9) Repeat Problem 8 in case air=gap length is not negligible as compared to


rotor radius
