06. The core of a toroid having 3000 turns has inner and outer radii of 11 cm and 12 cm respectively. The magnetic field in the core for a current of 0.70 A is 2.5 T. What is the relative permeability of the core?
 
Suggested solution:
 
The magnetic field in the empty space enclosed by the windings of the toroid is given by
 
 
Where n is the number of turns per unit length and I is the current.
 
If the space is filled by a core of permeability m then equation (1) is rewritten as under.
 
 
 
Now, B=2.5 tesla, I=0.70 ampere,
 
mean radius=11.5cm=11.5x10-2 m
 
 
Here, we have ignored the variation of B across the cross-section of the toroid and taken the radius of the toroid to be mean of inner and outer radii.
