UNIT IV – MAGNETIC FORCES AND MATERIALS

Part A - Two Marks
1. Define Inductance.
In general, inductance is also referred as self inductance as the flux produced by the
current flowing through the coil links with the coil itself.
2. What is fringing effect?

If there is an air gap in between the path of the magnetic flux, it spreads and bulges out.
This effect is called fringing effect.
3. Define self inductance.

Self inductance is defined as the rate of total magnetic flux linkage to the current through
the coil.
4. What is Magnetostatics?
The study of steady magnetic field, existing in a given space, produced due to the flow of
direct current through a conductor is called Magnetostatics
5. Define Right hand Thumb Rule and where it is used?

Right hand Thumb Rule states that, hold the current carrying conductor in the right hand
such that the thumb pointing in the direction of current and parallel to the conductor, then curled
fingers point in the direction of magnetic lines of flux around it. It is used to determine the
direction of Magnetic field around a conductor carrying a direct current.
6. Define Right handed Screw Rule.

It states that, imagine a right handed screw to be along the conductor carrying current
with its axis parallel to the conductor and tip pointing in the direction of the current flow. Then
the direction of Magnetic field is given by the direction in which screw must be turned so as to
advance in the direction of current flow.
7. Define Mutual inductance.

The mutual inductance between the two coils is defined as the ratio of flux linkage of one
coil to the current in other coil.
8. Define Reluctance.
Reluctance R is defined as the ratio of the magneto motive force to the total flux.

9. What is Lorentz force equation?

Lorentz force equation relates mechanical force to the electrical force. It is given as the
total force on a moving charge in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields.
10. Define Moment of force.

The Moment of a force or torque about a specified point is defined as the vector product
of the moment arm R and the force F. It is measured in Nm.
11. Define Magnetic dipole moment.

The Magnetic dipole moment of a current loop is defined as the product of current
through the loop and the area of the loop, directed normal to the current loop.
12. Give any two dissimilarities between electric and magnetic circuits.
1) In electric circuit the current actually flows i.e. there is a movement of electrons whereas in
magnetic circuit, due to MMF, flux gets established and doesn’t flow in the sense in which
current flows.
2) The electric lines of flux are not closed. They start from positive charge and end on negative
charge and the magnetic lines of flux are closed lines.
13. What is Curl?

The curl is a closed line integral per unit area as the area shrinks to a point. It gives the
circulation per unit area i.e. circulation density of a vector about a point at which the area is
going to shrink. The curl also gives the direction, which is along the axis through a point at
which curl is defined.
14. What is permeability?

In magnetostatics, the B and H are related to each other through the property of the
region in which current carrying conductor is placed. It is called permeability denoted as μ. It is
the ability with which the current carrying conductor forces the magnetic flux through the region
around it.
15. Distinguish between solenoid and toroid.

Solenoid is a cylindrically shaped coil consisting of a large number of closely spaced
turns of insulated wire wound usually on a non magnetic frame. If a long slender solenoid is bent
into the form of a ring and thereby closed on itself it becomes a toroid.

Part B - Sixteen Marks
1. Derive the expression for inductance and solenoid

 Explain and derive the equation for inductance of solenoid
2. Derive an expression for inductance of a toroid coil with N turns, Carrying current I and
radius of toroid R.
 Explain toroid and give the equation of toroid
3. Derive an expression for torque on a loop carrying current I.

 Derive the torque equation
4. Derive an expression for inductance of transmission line.

 Explain and derive the equation for transmission line
5. Discuss the magnetic boundary condition

 Explain the magnetic boundary condition & derive the boundary condition equations
6. Derive an expression for force between two parallel wires carrying current in same
direction.
 Derive the expression force
 Give the equation of two parallel wires carrying current in same direction.
