Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A magnetic circuit has a mean length of 0.6 m, a cross-sectional area of 0.003 m², and a material with permeability of 2 H/m. If it has 250 turns with a current of 1 A flowing through, calculate the MMF, reluctance, and magnetic flux.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem into parts, calculating MMF, reluctance, and finally using Hopkinson's Law.

Question 2

In a transformer design, an electrical engineer needs to establish 1500 Wb of magnetic flux. If the reluctance of the circuit is determined to be 20 AT/Wb, what MMF must be applied?

💡 Hint: Think of how much force is needed to overcome reluctance to achieve the desired flux.
