Q1: An iron-cored toroidal coil has 100 turns. The mean length of the flux path is 0.5 m and the cross-sectional area of
the core is 10 cm2. Calculate the inductance of the coil. Assume relative permeability of iron as 2000. Also calculate the
induced emf in the coil when current of 5A is reversed in 10 ms.
Current in the coil is changed from +5 A to −5 A in 10 × 10−3 secs. Total change of current is 10 A. Putting the given
values we get,

Q2: Two coils of number of turns N1 = 1000 and N2 = 400, respectively, are placed near each other. They are
magnetically coupled in such a way that 75 per cent of the flux produced by the one of 1000 turns links the other. A
current of 6 A produces a flux of 0.8 mWb in N1 and the same amount of current produces a flux of 0.5 mWb in the coil
of N2 turns. Determine L1, L2, M, and K for the coils.

Q3: An iron ring of mean length of an iron path of 100 cm and having a uniform cross-sectional area of 10 cm2 is
wound with two magnetizing coils as shown. The direction of current flowing through the two coils are such that they
produce flux in the opposite directions. The permeability of iron is 2000. There is a cut in the ring creating an air gap of
1 mm. Calculate the flux.
The net MMF will be the resultant effect of MMF of the two coils in producing the
flux in the core. The flux produced by the MMF of the two coils are in opposite
directions. Thus, the resultant MMF will be the difference of these two MMFs.

Q4: An iron ring is made up of two different materials A and B having a relative permeability of 1000 and 1500, respectively.
The length LA and LB of the two materials used are 75 cm and 25 cm, respectively. The air gap length is 2 mm. The cross-
sectional area of the core is 10 cm2. The magnetizing coil has 1000 turns and a current of 5 A is allowed to flow through it. If
fringing effects are negligible, calculate the flux produced in the air gap.
Total reluctance, S = Reluctance of part A + Reluctance of part B + Reluctance of air gap

Q5: A magnetic circuit is having its winding on its central limb. The cross-sectional area of the central limb is 10 cm2
whereas the cross-sectional area of the outer limbs is 5 cm2. The effective length of the central limb is 16 cm and that of
the outer limbs is 25 cm. Calculate the current required to flow through the winding which has 1000 turns to produce a
flux of 1.2 mWb in the central limb. Assume that for a flux density of 1.2 Wb/m2, the magnetizing force required is 750
AT/m. Draw the equivalent electric circuit.
This is an example of a parallel circuit. As current in an electric circuit gets
divided into two parallel branches, the flux produced in the central limb will get
divided into the two outer limbs.
The flux density in the outer limb will be the same as that in the central limb since
half the flux is available in each of the outer limbs and their cross-sectional area is
half of that of the central limb.

Q6: A 110 V/220 V transformer is supplied with 110 V, 50 Hz supply to its low-voltage side. It is desired to have maximum
value of core flux as 4.2 mWb. Calculate the required number of turns in its primary winding.
V1 = 110 V. Neglecting the winding voltage drop under no-load condition, V1 = E1 = 110 V.

Q7: A 100 kVA, 1100/220 V, 50 Hz transformer has 100 turns on its secondary winding. Calculate the number of turns of the
primary winding; the currents that would flow in both the windings when fully loaded, and the maximum value of flux in the
core.

Q8: The maximum flux density in the core of a 1100/220 V, 50 Hz, 100 kVA transformer is 3.5 Wb/m2. Calculate the area of
cross section of the core and the number of turns of the primary and secondary windings if the EMF per turn is 5.5 V.
