Question

An air-filled cylindrical inductor has 3500 turns. It is 2.8 cm in diameter and 30.0 cm long. (a) What is its inductance? H (b) Assume a second cylindrical inductor with the same length and diameter as the first, but with only 100 turns and a core filled with a material instead of air. If the second inductor has the same inductance as the first, what is the magnetic permeability of the material filling the second inductor relative to that of free space? That is, what is mu/mu o for this material? times

Explanation / Answer

The formula for inductance is...

L = uN2A/l

L = (4pi X 10-7)(3500)2(pi)(.014)2/.3

L = .0316 H

Part B

.0316 = x(4pi X 10-7)(100)2(pi)(.014)2/.3

x = 1225

Can also be solved as N2/N2 = (3500)2/(100)2 = 1225
