The mean circumference length le of 360 mm. The air gap lengths are 1.5 mm each. The density of 0.8 T is required to actuate the relay. The magnetization curve for this core is given in Table 1. Neglect the magnetic leakage and fringing effect.
i. Determine the current i in the coil [9 marks]
ii. Compute the values of the core's permeability μ and relative permeability μr. [4 marks]
iii. If the air gap is zero, find the current in the coil for the same flux density (0.8 T) in the core. [4 marks]
