Magnetic Circuit Analysis Homework

The document outlines a homework assignment involving calculations related to magnetic circuits, including determining the required current for a coil to achieve a specific flux density, calculating inductance and energy stored in a magnetic circuit, and analyzing core loss data to find the frequency at which hysteresis and eddy current losses are equal. It includes specific parameters such as permeability, cross-sectional area, and turns of the coil. The assignment requires neglecting certain factors like core saturation and flux fringing.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT-4

1. The iron ring in the figure below has square cross section of 1 cm2 and mean length of 30
cm includung the air gap. The horizontal air gap has a length of 2 mm and the winding
(wound symmetrically below and above the horizontal line) has 200 turns. The iron has a
permeability (µi) of 1.25×10-4. Permeability of air is μ0=4π×10−7. It is required to produce
a flux density of 100 mWb/m2 in the air gap. What should be the current ‘i’ injected into
the coil? An iron bar of length equal to the inside diameter of the ring and of the same
cross sectional area as the ring is now tightly fitted vertically (on the plane of the paper)
inside the ring so that the airgaps at the two ends of the bar can be neglected. The iron bar
has the same permeability as the ring. If the injected current does not change what will be
the new flux density in the airgap? Neglect core saturation, leakage and flux fringing at the
airgap. [4+6]

2. In the magnetic circuit shown in the figure below, the area of cross section of the central
limb is 12cm2 and that of each outer limb (A to B) is 6 cm2. The core material has a relative
permeability of 8000. Find the inductance of the coil. A direct current of 0.5 A is injected
into the coil. Find (i) Energy stored in the airgap, (ii) energy stored in the rest of the core.
Neglect core saturation, leakage and flux fringing at the airgap. [5+3+2]

P.T.O.
3. The following test results were obtained from a magnetic core.
Frequency Bmax Core Loss
50 Hz 1.2 T 115W
25 Hz 1.2 T 48.5W
25Hz 1.4 T 70.25W

Find out the frequency at which the hysteresis and the eddy current losses in the core will have
the same value at Bmax = 1.25T. (Note: 1.6 ≤ n ≤ 2.5, where ‘n’ is the exponent of ‘Bmax’ in
the expression of the hysteresis loss) [10]
