Common problems

Problem Set 3

  • Here is a matlab example that will help with problem 1.

Problem Set 2

  • In problem 1, part c you are given the following expression for the self inductance of coil 1: L_{11}(theta) = L_{01} + L_{11}cos(2*theta). In that expression, L_{01} and L_{11} are simply two constants.
  • In problem 1, part e you are given the following expression for the mutual inductance: M(theta) = Mcos(theta). Once again, M is simply a constant.
  • Similarly, the expression for the self inductance of coil 2 that is found in problem 1 part f also has two constants, namely L_{02} and L_{12}.

Problem Set 1

  • Remember that the solenoid in problem 1 has a cylindrical shape. This should help you decide whether or not the magnetic circuit has multiple loops.
  • You should read sections 1.1-1.4, 3.1-3.6 in Fitzgerald and Kingsley.
  • You may find it difficult to finish either problem 1 or problem 2 until after the first lecture. You should, however, be able to start both problems.
