Calculate the reluctance of a torus (a doughnut-shaped core) made of low-carbon
Q1.
steel. The inner radius of the torus is 1.75 cm and the outer radius of the torus is
2.25 cm. Assume the permeability of low-carbon steel is 2 X 10-4Wb/ At.m
Q2. How much flux is established in the magnetic path of Figure2 if the reluctance
ofthe material is 2.8 X 105 At/Wb?
Figure 2
There is 0.1 A of current through a coil with 400 turns.
Q3.

A coil of 200 turns is wound uniformly over a wooden ring having a mean
Q4.
circumference of 600 mm and a uniform cross-sectional area of 500 mm 2. If the
current through the coil is 4 A, calculate
(a) the magnetic field strength;
(b) the flux density;
(c) the total flux
Calculate the magnetomotive force required to produce a flux of 0.015 Wb across
Q5.
an air gap 2.5 mm long, having an effective area of 200 cm 2.
The field coils of a 6-pole d.c. generator each having 500 turns, are connected in
Q6.
series. When the field is excited, there is a magnetic flux of 0.02 Wb/pole. If the
field circuit is opened in 0.02 second and residual magnetism is 0.002 Wb/pole,
calculate the average voltage which is induced across the field terminals. In which
direction is this voltage directed relative to the direction of the current.
