TUTORIAL 1

Q1: A wooden ring with a circular cross-section of 300 mm2 and a mean
diameter of 200 mm has a coil of 800 turns uniformly wound around it. If the
current through the coil is 2.0 Amps, calculate the magnetic field density, B,
produced by this current. (assume relative permeability of wood =1)

• SOLUTION
• H = 𝑁𝐼𝑙
• where:
• 𝑙= 𝜋𝑑 = 𝜋𝑥0.2𝑚 = 0.628𝑚
800𝑥2
• H = 0.628 = 2548 𝐴𝑡/𝑚
• Therefore,
• B= 𝜇𝑟 𝜇0 𝐻 = 1𝑥4𝜋 × 10−7 𝑥 2548 = 0.0032 𝑊𝑏/𝑚2
Q2: A mild steel ring of 30 cm mean circumference has a cross-
sectional area of 6 cm2 and has a winding of 500 turns. The ring is cut
through at a point so as to provide an air-gap of 1 mm in the magnetic
circuit. It is found that a current of 4 A in the winding produces a flux
density of 1 Tesla in the air-gap.
• Find:
• (i) Relative permeability of the mild steel
• (ii) Inductance (that is self-inductance) of the winding
Find:
• (i) Relative permeability of the mild steel
• (ii) Inductance (that is self-inductance) of the winding
Solution
(note: question to be attempted after Batch 3 notes)

Q3: A coil of 800 turns is uniformly wound around an iron ring of diameter
40 cm. The diameter of the iron is 2.0 cm. A second winding with 0.5mm
diameter is wound over the first one. If the mutual inductance between the
two windings is 0.28 H, calculate the number of turns of the second winding.
(Assume relative permeability of iron, 𝜇𝑟 = 800 and permeability of air is
4𝜋x10-7 )

• SOLUTION
• 𝜇𝑟 = 800; 𝜇0 = 4𝜋x10-7
• 𝑙 =0.4𝜋 i. e. circumference of the ring = 1.257 m

• A=𝜋( ) = 0.000314

• (b) Two coils, Coil 1 of 13000 turns and Coil 2 of 17000 turns, lie in
parallel planes so that 75% of flux produced in coil 1 links coil 2. It is
found that a current of 6 A in coil 1 produces a flux of 0.8 mWb while
the same current in coil 2 produces 1.0 mWb. Find the following

• (i) Coefficient of self-induction due to coil 1


• (ii) Coefficient of self-induction due to coil 2
• (iii) Coefficient of coupling of the two coils
• Solution
