Figure Q3: An iron ring with an air gap

Q3: An iron ring of cross sectional area 30 x 10 -4 m2 and mean diameter of 0.25 m has a slot 1 mm wide which
forms an air gap in the ring. A coil of 300 turns is wound on the ring and a flux density of 1 Tesla is required in the
air gap. Noting that = 4 x 10-7 and the magnetic field strength for iron = 4,000 AT/m, calculate the following:

a. Ampere turns to magnetise the air gap.


b. Ampere turns to magnetise the iron.
c. Current required in the coil to magnetise the ring.
d. Inductance of the coil/iron circuit.
