Given:

A copper core with susceptibility Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \chi_m = -9.7 &times 10^{-6} }

length of core L = 1 m

Gap length g = .01 m

cross sectional area A = .1 m

current I = 10A

N = 5 turns


Find: B

Solution: First we need to find the permeability of copper given by the equation


Which yeilds Failed to parse (syntax error): {\displaystyle \mu = 4 &times \pi &times 10^{-7}(1+-9.7 &times 10^{-6}) = 1.2566 &times 10^{-6} }

Now with this, the length and cross sectional area of the core we can solve for reluctance by:

<math> R_c = \frac{L}{\mu A} = \frac{1}{1.2566x10^{-6}*.1} = 7.96x10^{6}
