Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A long solenoid has turns in each metre and carries A. An iron core with a relative permeability of fills it. Find the magnetic intensity, the magnetic field inside the core, and the magnetisation of the core. What would the field be without the core?
On the axis of a short magnet , and on the equatorial line half of that. For the Earth, and . In a material, , and .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The intensity. .
Step 2. The field with the core. .
Step 3. The magnetisation. . So .
Step 4. Without the core. .
Answer: A/m, T, A/m and mT.
Check. The core multiplies the field by : . Also .
