Problem Statement
A coil with 300 turns is wound uniformly over a steel ring with a relative permeability of 900. The ring has a mean circumference of 400 nm and a cross-sectional area of 500 mm^2. If a current of 25 A is passed through the coil, we need to find the MMF, reluctance, and flux.
Solution
1. Magnetic Field Intensity (H)
The magnetic field intensity (H) can be calculated using the formula:
H = N * I / l
Where:
N = Number of turns in the coil
I = Current passing through the coil
l = Mean length of the coil
Given:
N = 300 turns
I = 25 A
l = mean circumference of the ring = 400 nm
Substituting the given values, we get:
H = 300 * 25 / 400 = 18.75 A/m
So, the magnetic field intensity (H) is 18.75 A/m.
2. Magnetic Flux Density (B)
The magnetic flux density (B) can be calculated using the formula:
B = μ * H
Where:
μ = Permeability of the material
H = Magnetic field intensity
Given:
μ (relative permeability) = 900
H = 18.75 A/m
Substituting the given values, we get:
B = 900 * 18.75 = 16875 T
So, the magnetic flux density (B) is 16875 T.
3. Reluctance (R)
Reluctance (R) is a measure of how difficult it is for magnetic flux to flow through a material. It can be calculated using the formula:
R = l / (μ * A)
Where:
l = Mean length of the coil
μ = Permeability of the material
A = Cross-sectional area of the coil
Given:
l = mean circumference of the ring = 400 nm
μ (relative permeability) = 900
A = 500 mm^2
Substituting the given values, we get:
R = 400 * 10^-9 / (900 * 500 * 10^-6)
R = 0.0008889 A/Wb
So, the reluctance (R) is 0.0008889 A/Wb.
4. Magnetomotive Force (MMF)
Magnetomotive force (MMF) is the driving force that produces magnetic flux. It can be calculated using the formula:
MMF = H * l
Where:
H = Magnetic field intensity
l = Mean length of the coil
Given:
H = 18.75 A/m
l = mean circumference of the ring = 400 nm
Substituting the given values, we get:
MMF = 18.75 * 400 * 10^-9
MMF = 0.0075 A
So, the magnetomotive force (MMF) is 0.0075 A.
