THEORY: –
When a Magneto motive force is applied to a homogeneous iron ring or core, a magnetic potential gradient is produced within the material and i.e expressed by H= (N*I)/l (where, H is magnetic field intensity or magnetic field strength, N is the number of turns of coil, I is the current supplied and l is the mean length of core).
from the above expression we may write H ∝ I ………… (i)
as l and N are constant quantity.
From faraday’s law of magnetic induction, we can write, induced emf (e) = – N*(dɸ/dt)….. (ii)
Since the supplied voltage is sinusoidal, the core flux is given by ɸ = ɸmsin 𝛚t and substituting the value in equation (ii) , we may get
The above expression may be written as Erms ∝ Bmax ….. (iii)
Thus a graph of V-I can be drawn by taking the respective data of V and I.
This curve is similar to B-H curve.
PROCEDURES: –
- All Instruments are connected as per circuit diagram shown in fig.
- The voltage is increased gradually by single phase auto- transformer & corresponding readings of Voltmeters & Ammeters are filled in observation table.
- Draw a graph of V1 and I which will show the relation between B and H parameters.
PRECAUTIONS: –
- Don’t switch on power supply without concerning teacher.
- Single phase autotransformer must be kept at minimum potential point before switch on the experiment.
