An Iron Core's Magnetisation

Q. A solenoid has a core of a material with relative permeability 400. The windings of the solenoid are insulated from the core and carry a current of 2 A. If the number of turns is 1000 m⁻¹, what is the magnetisation M of the core, in A/m? expects 8.0 × 10⁵ A/m

Q. A solenoid has a core of a material with relative permeability 400 $μ_{r} = 400$ . The windings of the solenoid are insulated from the core and carry a current of 2 A $I = 2$ A. If the number of turns is 1000 m⁻¹ $n = 1000$ m⁻¹, what is the magnetisation M of the core, in A/m?

The solution

Solved with Magnetisation

Given

$μ_{r} = 400$
$I = 2$ A
$n = 1000$ m⁻¹

Find $M$ .

Working

intensity of a solenoid(core) $H = n \cdot I$
$H = 1000 \cdot 2$
$H = 2000$ A/m
magnetisation of a core(core) $M = (μ_{r} - 1) \cdot H$
$M = (400 - 1) \cdot 2000$
$M = 798000$ A/m
$M \approx 8.0 \times 10^{5}$ A/mto 2 significant figures

Conclusion

The core's own atomic magnets line up with H and add far more magnetisation than the windings make alone.
