Permeability in ferromagnetic material (AC)

  1. Jun 8, 2015 #1

    The following coil-wound core (core length = L , Gap length = lg, cross- sectional area = A , core permeability = only hysteresis graph is given, N = N turns) is driven by a Voltage source, is known that the current in the coil is 60hz AC.

    (a.) the time -varying magnetic current
    (b.) the time -varying voltage
    (c.) the time -varying Magnetic flux (core and gap)
    (d.) Max current

    2. Relevant equations


    3. The attempt at a solution

    What I have done is to first calculate v(t) looking up the Bmax in the hysteresis loop, then I have substituted that value in the above equation v(t), then I have calculated the current using H=NI/L, again I got Hmax from the hysteresis loop in order to obtain Imax.
    I don´t know how to continue: how to express the flux and B in terms of t if the permeability is not a constant.
    Thank you for your help!

    varying permeability means varying inductance of the circuit and thus varying magnetizing current. If only hysteresis curve is given we should use it to determine nonlinear permeability and thus H and B field. We can take H field to be purely sinusoidal and thus determine not-so-perfect sinusoidal B field in-turn determining the flux.

Have something to add?
