E&M Toroidal Magnets: B, H, M Magnitudes

B (and M) are zero outside the magnet. In summary, the magnetic field in the gap of a toroidal permanent magnet with a length of 20 cm and gap length of 1.0 cm is 0.50 T. The magnitudes of B, H, and M in the material are all dependent on the permeability, which is not given. However, we can calculate that H in the gap is approximately 3.98*10^5 A/m.

The magnetic field inm the gap of the toroidal permanent magnet is 0.50 T. The length of the magnetic circuit is 20 cm and that of the gap is 1.0 cm.
what are the magnitudes of
i) B in the material
ii) H in the gap
iii) H in the material
iv) M in the material


The Attempt at a Solution


i) Assuming no "bulging of the field" B = 0.5 T
ii) B = μ0 * H => H = B/μ0
H = 0.5/[4π*10^-7] = 3.98*10^5 A/m

but for part iii & iv. I thought we need to know the permeability??
Is it possible to calculate H & M in the material without μr?

(i'm assuming they're looking for numerical answers rather than algebraic ones)

help? anybody? please?

mu has no meaning for a permanent magnet.
Use B=(mu0)(H+ M)
B in the gap equals mu0 M, so H in most of the magnet~0.
 

1. What is the purpose of E&M toroidal magnets?

The purpose of E&M toroidal magnets is to generate a magnetic field with a specific strength and direction. This can be used in various applications such as particle accelerators, MRI machines, and electric motors.

2. How are the B, H, and M magnitudes related in E&M toroidal magnets?

The B, H, and M magnitudes are all related through the magnetic permeability of the material. B represents the magnetic flux density, H represents the magnetic field strength, and M represents the magnetization of the material. They are related by the equation B = μH + M, where μ is the magnetic permeability.

3. What factors affect the strength of the magnetic field in E&M toroidal magnets?

The strength of the magnetic field in E&M toroidal magnets can be affected by the number of turns in the coil, the current passing through the coil, the radius of the toroid, and the magnetic permeability of the material used for the toroid.

4. What materials are commonly used to make E&M toroidal magnets?

Some commonly used materials for E&M toroidal magnets include iron, nickel, cobalt, and various alloys. These materials have high magnetic permeability, making them ideal for generating strong magnetic fields.

5. How are E&M toroidal magnets different from other types of magnets?

E&M toroidal magnets differ from other types of magnets in their shape and design. They consist of a toroid, or a doughnut-shaped object, with a coil of wire wrapped around it. This design allows for a more uniform and concentrated magnetic field compared to other types of magnets, such as bar magnets or horseshoe magnets.
