The field winding of a dc electro-magnet is wound with 960 turns and h...
Ohms. If a current of 2.5 A is passed through the winding, what is the magnetic field strength produced by the magnet?
We can use the formula for the magnetic field strength (H) produced by a dc electromagnet:
H = (N * I) / l
where N is the number of turns in the winding, I is the current passing through the winding, and l is the length of the magnetic path.
In this case, we are given that N = 960 turns, I = 2.5 A, and we need to find l. We can use Ohm's Law to find the voltage drop across the winding:
V = I * R
where R is the resistance of the winding. Plugging in the given values, we get:
V = 2.5 A * 50 ohms = 125 V
Now, we can use the formula for the voltage drop across a resistor:
V = I * R
where V is the voltage drop across the winding, I is the current passing through the winding, and R is the resistance of the winding. Rearranging this formula, we get:
R = V / I
Plugging in the values we just found, we get:
l = V / (N * I) = 125 V / (960 turns * 2.5 A) = 0.0521 m
Now we can plug all of our values into the formula for H:
H = (N * I) / l = (960 turns * 2.5 A) / 0.0521 m = 46,312 A/m
Therefore, the magnetic field strength produced by the magnet is 46,312 A/m.
