MAGNETIC CIRCUITS-PROBLEMS
Problem-1
In the magnetic system of fig. below two sides are thicker than the other two sides.
The depth of the core is 10 cm, the relative permeability of the core, μr = 2000, the number of turns N = 500, and the
current flowing through the coil is i = 1 A.
Problem-2
A circular ring of magnetic material has a mean length of 1.0 m and a cross-sectional area of 0.001 m2.
A saw cut of 5 mm width is made in the ring. Calculate the magnetizing current
required to produce a flux of 1.0 mWb in the air- gab if the ring is wound uniformly
with a coil of 200 turns. Take relative permeability of the ring material = 500 and
neglect leakage and fringing.
Problem-3
A ring of mean diameter 21 cm and cross-section 10 cm2 is made up of semi-circular sections of cast steel and cast
iron. If each joint has reluctance equal to an air gap of 0.2 mm as shown in fig. below.
Find the amp. turn required to produce a flux of 5 * 10-4 weber in the
magnetic circuit. Take μr, for steel and iron as 825 and 165
respectively. Neglect leakage and fringing.

Problem-4
Two coils are wound on a toroidal core as shown in fig. below. The core is made of silicon sheet steel and has a square
cross section. The coil currents are i1 = 0.28 A and i2 = 0.56 A.
Problem-5
The magnetic circuit of fig. below provides flux in the two air gaps. The coils (N1 = 700, N2 = 200) are connected in
series and carry a current of 0.5 ampere. Neglect leakage flux, reluctance of the iron (i.e. infinite permeability), and
fringing at the air gaps.
- Determine the flux and flux density in the air gaps.
