4. A circular iron ring has amean circumference of 1.5 m and a cross-sectional area of 100 cm 2.
A cut of 0.5 cm wide is made in the ring. Calculate the magnetising current required to produce
aa ux of 0.8 mWb in the air gap if the ng is wound with a coil of 350 turns. Assuming relative
permeability of iron as 400 and leakage factor = 1.25 (Ans: 1.58 A) (Hint: = leakagef actor
required)
5. the magnetic circuit shown in gure 1 has cast steel core. The corss sectional area of the central
limb is 800 mm2 and that of each outer limb is 600 mm2. Calculate the exciting current needed to
set up a ux of 0.8 mWb in the air gap. Neglet magnetic leakage and fringing. Use magnetisation
characteristic of cast steel. (Hint: you can determine H from B using magnetisation
characteristics if given.)(Take: r = 1000) (Ans: 2.21 A)

3. The magnetic circuit is shown below in gure 2 which has cast steel core. The dimensions
are:2 ab + cd = 50 cm, area = 25 cm2, ad = 20 cm, area = 12.5 cm2, dca = 50 cm, area = 25
cm . Determine the exciting coil mmf required to establish air gap ux of 0.74 mWb. Take r =
666.6 (Ans: 410 AT)
4. The ring shaped core shown in gure 3 is made of a material having a relative perme-ablility
1000. The ux density in the smallest area of corss section is 2 T. If the current through the
coil is not to exceed 1.5 A. Compute the number of turns of the coil.(ans: 371.36)
5. The magnetic frame shown in gure 4 is built up of iron of square creoss section, 3 cm side.
Each air gap of 2mm wide. Eacho or coils is wound with 1000 turns and the exciting

6. Calculate the loss of energy caused by hystersis loss in oone hour in 11.4 kg of iron if
mazimum ux density reached is 1.3 W b=m2 and frequency 50 Hz. Assume Steinmetz co-e
ciency as 500 and density of iron as 7.6 gm=cm3. What will be the area of B-H curve
(hystersis loop) of the specimen if 1 cm = 50 AT/m and 1 cm = 0.1 wb=m 2 (Ans: 152.16
cm2)
