2. Consider the magnetic circuit in Fig. 2 below, with the given dimensions.
Calculate the current required to be passed in the coil having 200 turns
to create a flux of 1.28 mWb in the air gap. Neglect fringing effect and
leakage flux. (All dimensions are in mm). Assume that the operation is
in the linear region of the hysteresis curve with permeability of 0.0016.
