Given:

A copper core with susceptibility χm=9.7x106

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 μ given by the equation
μ=μ0(1+χm)

Which yeilds μ=4*π*107(1+9.7x106)=1.2566x106

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

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