An iron-cored coil has an inductance of 4 H. If the reluctance of the ...
To find the number of turns in the coil, we can use the formula for inductance:
L = (N^2 * μ0 * A) / l
where L is the inductance, N is the number of turns, μ0 is the permeability of free space, A is the cross-sectional area of the coil, and l is the length of the coil.
Given that the inductance is 4 H and the reluctance is 100 AT/Wb, we can rearrange the formula to solve for N:
N = √(L * l / (μ0 * A))
Given that the reluctance is equal to 100 AT/Wb, we know that the permeability of free space can be calculated as:
μ0 = 1 / (100 * 10^-8) = 10^6 Wb/ATm
Let's assume a length of 1 meter for the coil (l = 1 m). Now we need to find the cross-sectional area of the coil.
Since the reluctance is given in AT/Wb and the formula for reluctance is:
Reluctance = l / (μ0 * A)
We can rearrange this formula to solve for A:
A = l / (μ0 * Reluctance)
Plugging in the values, we get:
A = 1 / (10^6 * 100) = 10^-8 m^2
Now we can substitute the values of L, l, μ0, and A into the formula for N:
N = √(4 * 1 / (10^6 * 10^-8))
Simplifying, we get:
N = √(40)
N ≈ 6.32
Since the number of turns must be an integer, the closest option is 20 (option C), which is the correct answer.
