SUMMARY
The introduction of a ferrite core with a relative permeability (μr) of 200 into an air core circular coil significantly enhances the magnetic field produced by the coil. Specifically, while the magnetic field at the center of the coil increases by a factor of μr, the magnetic field at a point in space outside the coil also experiences a substantial increase. The magnetic field strength can be calculated using the formulas β = μ0×I×n/(2πι) for an air core and β = μr×I×n/(2πι) when a ferrite core is present. This indicates that the magnetic field will increase proportionally to the relative permeability of the ferrite core.
