How to find the total number of turns needed to produce a flux..?

Consider the magnetic circuit shown. Assume that the reluctance of the iron is small enough to be ignored. For an air gap of 0.1 cm, and an effective area of each gap of 10 cm2, determine the TOTAL number of turns needed to produce a flux density of 0.5 T in the gaps.

•Consider the coil shown on slide 7. Make up reasonable numbers and determine the magnetic field in the gap and on the pole face. Consider the force on a current carrying wire placed in the gap.

•Calculate the energy needed to produce a field of 1 T over a volume big enough to put a person in (like you would find in an MRI).

•What is the typical magnetic field saturation in silicon steel?

•Look up the current carrying capacity of a 12 gauge wire (<40 oC rise). And convert this to A/m2.

Homework, perhaps?
Hint: The field strength in the gap depends very strongly on the length of the gaps. As noted in the question, the higher permeability of the iron dwarfs the low permeability of the air gap.

I have no idea about this question that is why i need help ?
ok
sorry about that

Hello there,

There are several questions there, and i noticed right away one which would be answerable by someone with at least a modest experience with magnetic constructions used in electrical and electronics areas. I would think that they would be asked only of persons who had at least a little experience or course work, or are allowed to research in various forums and literature without limit except maybe within a certain time frame, but i wont be so presumptuous just yet.
So, are you saying that you have no idea how to do any of these questions, or do you just have to answer one of them?
I ask so that i could better understand what you are seeking here.

I repeated your questions above for convenience.

First a couple questions for you.

1. Do you know how to find the diameter and area of a 12 gauge wire?
2. Do you know how to find data sheets on magnetic materials like si steel?
3. Do you have any idea what "reasonable numbers" are in that question?
