Question 1

What does reluctance measure?

  • Opposition to electric current
  • Opposition to magnetic flux
  • Amount of magnetic field strength

💡 Hint: Think about how reluctance parallels electrical resistance.

Question 2

True or False: Higher permeability results in higher reluctance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between the two concepts.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transformer core has a mean length of 0.75 m, a cross-sectional area of 0.001 m², and a permeability of 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ H/m. Calculate its reluctance and discuss how this will affect transformer efficiency.

💡 Hint: Focus on the units and values in the formula.

Question 2

Discuss how choosing materials for a transformer with varying reluctance impacts its operating temperature and longevity.

💡 Hint: Consider the consequences of energy losses over time.
