Question

A Rowland ring of mean radius 15 cm has 3500 turns of wire wound on a ferromagnetic core of relative permeability 800. What is the magnetic field B in the core for a magnetising current of 1.2 A?

Answer 1

Mean radius of a Rowland ring, r = 15 cm = 0.15 m
Number of turns on a ferromagnetic core, N = 3500
Relative permeability of the core material,Magnetising current, I = 1.2 A
The magnetic field is given by the relation:

Therefore, the magnetic field in the core is 4.48 T.
