Illustration 1
An iron ring has a circular cross- sectional area of 5 cm2 and a mean circumference of
100 cm. The ring is uniformly wound with a coil of 1000 turns. Relative permeability
of iron is 800.
a) Find the current required to produce a flux of 1 mWb in the ring.
b) If a saw cut of 2 mm wide is made in the ring, find the flux produced, if the
current is same as that found in part a.
c) Find the current required to produce the same flux as in part a for the cut made
in the ring in part b.
Ans:
a) 1.99 A
b) 0.385 mWb
c) 5.17 A

Illustration 2
The magnetic circuit shown in the figure is made of iron having a square cross-section of 3 cm
side. It has two parts A and B, with relative permeabilities of 1000 and 1200 respectively,
separated by two air gaps, each 2 mm wide. The part B is wound with a total of 1000 turns of
wire on the two side limbs carrying a current of 2.5 A. Calculate
a) The reluctances of Part-A, Part-B & air gaps, PART A 3 cm
PART B
