Chapter 2-Exercise N Example 2

This document contains two exercises on electromagnetism: 1) A core with three legs is shown. Given the core dimensions and number of turns, the document asks to calculate the total reluctance, flux in each leg, and flux density in each leg. 2) A magnetic circuit with a core and air gap is shown. Given the dimensions, number of turns, and current, the document asks to determine the air gap and core reluctance, energy stored, excitation current and induced EMF to produce a given flux, and the inductance and maximum flux density under a given voltage.

Exercise: Electromagnetism

(a) A core with three legs is shown in Figure 1. Its depth is 5 cm, and there are 200 turns on
the leftmost leg. The relative permeability of the core is 1500 and constant. Assume a 4%
increase in the effective area of the air gap due to fringing effects.

i) Calculate the total reluctance, RTOT?

ii) Calculate the flux, Φ in each legs of the core.

iii) Calculate the flux density, B in each of the legs.

b) A magnetic circuit containing a core winded by a 400 turns coil, 4A current and an air
gap on the opposite side as shown in the Figure 2 below.
i) Determine the air gap reluctance, Rg and core reluctance, Rc
ii) Determine the energy stored in the core and in the air-gap.
iii) Determine the excitation current and induced emf in the coil to produce a
flux of 0.4sin314t mWb in the air gap.
iv) Determine the inductance of the coil.
v) If the coil is connected with a source 200Vrms and 60Hz, determine the
maximum flux density
