This document provides an overview of electromagnetism and magnetic circuits. It discusses key concepts such as magnetic flux, magnetic field intensity, permeability, reluctance, and hysteresis loops. Examples are given to illustrate how to calculate magnetic flux produced by a coil, total reluctance of a magnetic circuit, and flux density in air gaps of a motor. Losses in ferromagnetic cores from hysteresis and eddy currents are also summarized.

Basic Principles of Electromagnetism • Magnet • Magnetic Flux, ϕ • electromagnet is a type of magnet whose magnetic field is produced by the flow of electric current. Magnetic fields – for energy conversion in t/f, generators, motors magnetic flux density, B = ϕ/A EPO460 March 2013 2 Ampere's law:

NZA 2009 Example 1 A ferromagnetic core is shown in Fig. below. Three sides of this core are of uniform width, while the fourth side is somewhat thinner. The depth of the core (in to page) is 10cm, and the other dimensions are shown in the figure. There is a 200-turn coil wrapped around the left side of the core. Assuming relative permeability µr of 2500, how much flux will be produced by a 1A input current?

Example 2 Fig. shows a ferromagnetic core whose mean path length is 40cm. There is a small gap of 0.05cm in the structure of the otherwise whole core. The cross- sectional area of the core is 12cm2, the relative permeability of the core is 4000, and the coil of wire on the core has 400 turns. Assume that fringing (border) in the air gap increases the effective cross-sectional area of the air gap by 5 percent. Given this information, find: the total reluctance of the flux path (iron plus air gap) and the current required to produce a flux density of 0.5T in the air gap

Example 3 Fig. 6 shows a simplified rotor and stator for a DC motor. The mean path length of the stator is 50cm, and its cross-sectional area is 12 cm2. The mean path length of the rotor is 5cm, and its cross-sectional area also may be assumed to be 12cm2. Each air gap between the rotor and the stator is 0.05cm wide, and the cross-sectional area of each air gap (including fringing) is 14 cm2. The iron of the core has a relative permeability of 2000, and there are 200 turns of wire in the core. If the current in the wire is adjusted to be 1 A, what will the resulting flux density in the air gaps be?
