A reference for material on magnetic circuits

The material on magnetic circuits is not covered in any of the conventional text books on electric circuits. A reasonable reference is the text book for EE3PI4:

• Chapman, Electric Machinery Fundamentals, fourth edition, McGraw-Hill, 2005, pages 8-20 (and the top bit of page 21).
• Suggested problems from that book are (starting on page 56):
  • 1.5, 1.6, 1.7
  • 1.8, but use the fringing compensation model that we discussed in class
  • 1.13, but use a fixed relative permeability of 2000.
  • 1.14, but use a fixed relative permeability of 3000, and use the fringing compensation model that we discussed in class

Various editions of Chapman's book are on reserve at the Thode Library. (25 Mar)

Node analysis question in today's lecture (Wed 7 Jan)

At the end of today's lecture I said that we had 11 unknowns and 10 equations, and that this was a problem. However, I miscounted. There are only 10 unknowns, and hence the analysis is balanced. I'm sorry for the confusion. (7 Jan 2009)

Notice regarding email communication

Due to the large number of emails that I receive every day, I have instituted a filter system for EE2CJ4. In order to guarantee a response from me, you must include the sequence "EE2CJ4" in the subject line of the email. I am sorry for the inconvenience. (3 January 2009)
