1. A magnetic pole face has a rectangular section having dimensions 200mm by 100 mm. If the
total flux emerging from the pole is 150 μWb, calculate the flux density.
2. The maximum working flux density of a lifting electromagnet is 1.8T and the effective area of
a pole face is circular in cross-section. If the total magnetic flux produced is 353 mWb,
determine the radius of the pole face.
3. A magnetizing force of 8000A/m is applied to a circular magnetic circuit of mean diameter 30
