The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the flux density, magnetizing field intensity, and relative permeability of the iron ring. ### Step 1: Calculate the Flux Density (B) The flux density \( B \) is defined as the magnetic flux \( \Phi \) per unit area \( A \). Given: - Flux \( \Phi = 2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{Wb} \) - Cross-sectional area \( A = 1 \, \text{cm}^2 = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) Using the formula: \[ B = \frac{\Phi}{A} \] Substituting the values: \[ B = \frac{2 \times 10^{-6}}{1 \times 10^{-4}} = 2 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{T} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Magnetizing Field Intensity (H) The magnetizing field intensity \( H \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ H = N \cdot I \] where \( N \) is the number of turns per unit length and \( I \) is the current. Given: - Total number of turns \( N = 300 \) - Mean circumferential length \( L = 30 \, \text{cm} = 0.3 \, \text{m} \) - Current \( I = 0.032 \, \text{A} \) First, calculate the number of turns per unit length: \[ N_{\text{per unit length}} = \frac{N}{L} = \frac{300}{0.3} = 1000 \, \text{turns/m} \] Now, substituting into the formula for \( H \): \[ H = 1000 \times 0.032 = 32 \, \text{A/m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Relative Permeability (\( \mu_r \)) The relative permeability \( \mu_r \) can be calculated using the relationship: \[ B = \mu \cdot H \] where \( \mu \) is the permeability of the material. The relative permeability is defined as: \[ \mu_r = \frac{\mu}{\mu_0} \] where \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, approximately \( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{H/m} \). From the earlier equation, we can express \( \mu \) as: \[ \mu = \frac{B}{H} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \mu = \frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{32} = \frac{2}{32} \times 10^{-2} = \frac{1}{16} \times 10^{-2} \, \text{H/m} \] Now, substituting this into the relative permeability formula: \[ \mu_r = \frac{\mu}{\mu_0} = \frac{\frac{1}{16} \times 10^{-2}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}} \] Calculating \( \mu_r \): \[ \mu_r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{16 \times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{1}{64\pi} \times 10^5 \] Approximating \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \mu_r \approx \frac{1}{64 \times 3.14} \times 10^5 \approx \frac{1}{200} \times 10^5 \approx 500 \] ### Summary of Results - Flux Density \( B = 2 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{T} \) - Magnetizing Field Intensity \( H = 32 \, \text{A/m} \) - Relative Permeability \( \mu_r \approx 500 \)
