QUESTION AND ANSWERS
UNIT I MAGNETIC CIRCUITS AND MAGNETIC
1. Mention the types of electrical machines.

There are three basic rotating machines types, namely
a. The dc machines
b. the poly phase synchronous machine (ac), and
c. Poly and single phase induction machine (ac) and a stationary machine, namely
Transformer
2. State Ohm’s law for magnetic circuit.

It states that the magneto motive force across the magnetic element is equal to the product of the
magnetic flux through the magnetic element and the reluctance of the magnetic material. It is
given by MMF = Flux X Reluctance
3. Define leakage flux

The flux setup in the air paths around the magnetic material is known as leakage flux.
4. Define magnetic reluctance

The opposition offered by the magnetic circuit for the magnetic flux path is known as magnetic
reluctance. It is analogous to electric resistance.
5. Draw the typical normal magnetization curve of ferromagnetic material.
6. What is fringing?
In the air gap the magnetic flux fringes out into neighboring air paths due to the reluctance of
air gap which causes a non uniform flux density in the air gap of a machine. This effect is called
fringing effect.

7. State stacking factor.

The stacking factor is defined as the ratio of the net cross sectional area of a magnetic core to
the gross cross sectional area of the magnetic core. Due to lamination net cross sectional are will
be always less than gross cross sectional area. Therefore the value of stacking factor is always
less than unity.
8. Mention some magnetic materials suitable for fabrication of permanent magnets.

Samarium-cobalt, Neodymium-iron-boron material.
Alnicos, chromium steels, copper–nickel alloy, nickel, cobalt, tungsten and aluminium.
9. What is magnetostriction?
When ferromagnetic materials are subjected to magnetizing mmf, these may undergo small
changes in dimension; this phenomenon is known as magnetostriction.
10. Define statically induced emf.

The coil remains stationary with respect to flux, but the flux through it changes with time. The
emf induced is known as statically induced emf.
Ex: Transformer
11. Define dynamically induced emf.

Flux density distribution remains constant and stationary but the coil moves relative to it. The
emf induced is known as dynamically induced emf.
Ex: Generator
12. State Fleming’s right hand rule.

Extend the thumb, fore and middle finger of the right hand so that they are mutually
perpendicular to each other. If the thumb represents the direction of movement of conductor and
the fore finger the direction of magnetic flux, then the middle finger represents the direction of
emf
13. State Fleming’s Left hand rule.

Extend the thumb, fore and middle finger of the right hand so that they are mutually
perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger represents the direction of flux and the middle
finger the direction of current, then the middle finger represents the direction of movement of
conductor.

MMF is the cause for producing flux in a magnetic circuit. the amount of flux setup in the core
decent upon current(I)and number of turns(N).the product of NI is called MMF and it determine
the amount of flux setup in the magnetic circuit MMF=NI ampere turns (AT)
20. What are quasi – static fields?
The time invariant fields are called static fields. The quasi – static field theory is applicable at
low frequencies when the dimensions of the region of interest are small compared to the
wavelength of the electromagnetic field that permeates it.
The field which is slowly varying i.e the time required by electromagnetic field wave needs to
propagate through a typical dimension of the system of interest is small compared with the time
scale of field evolution of the system then the field is called quasi – static field.
