Module 3
 The amount of flux produced by the magnet indicates the strength of the
magnet.
 The more the magnetizing force (MMF), more is the flux produced.
 The more the opposition to flux path (i.e., reluctance or magnetic resistance)
less is the flux produced. This relationship is expressed as:
Module 3
It can be observed that reluctance is inversely proportional to permeability for a
particular material. That is to say that a material with high permeability allows
more flux to be established for a given amount of magnetizing force.
Permeability is the ability of a magnetic material which allows the establishment
of flux through it. Thus, permeability is the reciprocal of reluctance of a
magnetic material. Permeability of iron is very high as compared to air or any
non-magnetic material.
 For free space, i.e., air, permeability μo is equal to 4p × 10−7 H/m. The
permeability of any magnetic material is compared with the permeability of free
space and is called relative permeability μr. Relative permeability of iron is as
high as 2000. This means that iron is 2000 times more permeable than air. For
the same amount of ampere turns, an iron-core coil will produce about 2000
times more flux than an air-core coil.
 Magnetic field strength, H is defined as the ampere turn per unit length, i.e., as
AT/m.

 Magnetic field strength, H is defined as the ampere turn per unit length, i.e., as AT/m. Thus

Practice Question:
1. Find the magnetic core flux of a magnetic circuit with a relative
permeability of 50 has a core cross section of 5 cm2 and mean core length
of 25 cm. The coil on the core has 120 turns with an MMF of 500 AT.
2. A coil of 100 turns is wound uniformly over a insulator ring with a mean
circumference of 2m and a uniform sectional area of 0.025cm2. If the coil
is carrying a current of 2A. Calculate (a) the MMF of the circuit (b)
magnetic field intensity (c) flux density (d) total flux.
3. A magnetic circuit has a core of mean length 50 cm, cross-sectional area 4
cm², and permeability of 5×10⁻³ H/m. If the coil wound around the core has
200 turns and carries a current of 2A, calculate the magnetic flux produced
in the core.
