Q147 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2004 · Physics

The magnetic induction and the intensity of magnetic field inside an iron core of an electromagnet are $1 \mathrm{~Wb} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$ and $150 \mathrm{Am}^{-1}$, respectively. The relative permeability of iron is $\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7}\right.$ henry $\left./ \mathrm{m}\right)$

  • A
    $\frac{10^6}{4 \pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{10^6}{6 \pi}$
  • C
    $\frac{10^5}{4 \pi}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{10^5}{6 \pi}$

Solution

We know $B=\mu H=\mu_n \mu_0 H$ Where $\mu_r$ is relative permeability $=\frac{\mu}{\mu_0}$ $\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \mu_r & =\frac{B}{\mu_0 H} \\ & =\frac{1}{\left(4 \pi \times 10^{-7}\right)(150)}=\frac{10^5}{6 \pi} \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
