Exercise
Fig. 1
The iron ring shown in Fig. 1, is made up of a material having a relative
permeability of 1000 and has a flux density of 2 T in the air gap. For the
given dimensions of l1 = 0.15 m, l2 = 0.1 m, l3 = 0.2 m, lag = 1 cm, A1
= A3 = Aag = 2*10-4 m2, A2 = 3*10-4 m2, if the current through the
coil is 1.5 A, compute the number of turns required. Neglect leakage
flux and fringe effect.
11029 turns
