Extracted text: A ferromagnetic core is shown in Figure Pl-2. The depth of the core is 5 cm. The other dimensions of the core are as shown in the figure. Find the value of the current that will produce a flux of 0.005 Wb. With this current, what is the flux density at the top of the core? What is the flux density at the right side of the core? Assume that the relative permeability of the core is 800. 1-5. 10 cm- 5em 20 em 15 cm 15 cm 15 cm Coe depth - Scm SOLUTION There are three regions in this core. The top and bottom form one region, the left side forms a second region, and the right side forms a third region. If we assume that the mean path length of the flux is in the center of each leg of the core, and if we ignore spreading at the corners of the core, then the path lengths are I, = 2(27.5 cm) = 55 cm, I, = 30 cm, and /, = 30 cm. The reluctances of these regions are:
