A coil of 800 turns is wound on a closed mild steel core having a length 600 mm and cross-sectional area 500 mm². Determine the current required to establish a flux of 0.8 mWb in the core.

Now B = Φ /A = (0.8 × 10^{-3}) / (500 × 10^{-6}) = 1.6 T

From Fig. 1.17, a flux density of 1.6 T will occur in mild steel when H = 3,500 A/m. The current can now be determined by re-arranging H = N I / l as follows:

I  =  \frac{H  \times  l}{N}  =  \frac{3,500  \times  0.6}{800} =  2.625  A
