Solution 1
Given:- H= 1000 A/m, χ = 59.9, μ0 = 4π x 10-7 S.I. unit
To find:- Permeability (μ)
Formula:- μ = μ0 (1 + χ)
Calculation:- From formula,
μ = 4π x 10-7 (1 + 59.9)
= 4 x 3.142 x 10-7 x 60.9
= antilog [log(4) + log(3.142) + log(60.9)] x 10-7
= antilog [0.6021 + 0.4972 + 1.7846] x 10-7
= antilog [2.8839] x 10-7
= 765.4 x 10-7
∴ μ = 7.654 x 10-5 Wb/A-m
The magnectic permeability of the iron rod is 7.654 x 10-5 Wb/A-m.
Solution 2
Given:
H = 1000 A/m, χ = 599,
μ0 = 4π × 10-7 S.I. unit
To find: Permeability (μ)
Formula: μ = μ0(1 + χ)
Calculation:
From formula,
μ = 4π × 10-7 (1 + 599)
= 4 × 3.142 × 10-7 × 600
∴ μ = 7.54 × 10-4 Hm-1
The magnetic permeability of the iron rod is 7.54 × 10-4 Hm-1.
