Homework Statement


Hi again guys, been stuck on this problem for a while now, thought it would be a simple bumping in some values in a given equation question but I can't get the correct answer :confused: Heres the problem:

What is the inductance of a 600 turn coil wound on a core of cross sectional area 450mm2 , length of 500mm and a relative permeability of 25?


Homework Equations


I assumed the equation I would use would be L=μ0μrn2Al
Where n = number of turns
A = cross sectional area
l = length
μ0 I took as 12.6x10^-7
and μr = 25

The Attempt at a Solution


When I put all these values into the equation I get 2.55, where as the given answer is 10mH. I'm stumped :confused:
 
on Phys.org
The correct equation is: [tex]L=\frac{\mu_0 \mu_r n^2 A}{l}[/tex]
