(a) the m.m.f. to produce a flux of 400 μWb;
(b) the corresponding values of the reluctance of the ring and of the relative permeability.

2. A steel magnetic circuit has a uniform cross-sectional area of 5 cm2 and a length of 25 cm. A coil of
120 turns is wound uniformly over the magnetic circuit. When the current in the coil is 1.5 A, the total
flux is 0.3 mWb; when the current is 5 A, the total flux is 0.6 mWb. For each value of current, calculate:

(a) the magnetic field strength;


(b) the relative permeability of the steel. (720 A/m, 663; 2400 A/m, 398)
