Problem 3.281

A permanent magnet is shaped as a ring with a narrow gap between the poles. The mean diameter of the ring equals d=20 cmd=20 \mathrm{~cm}. The width of the gap is equal to b=2.0 mmb=2.0 \mathrm{~mm} and the magnetic induction in the gap is equal to B=40mTB=40 \mathrm{mT}. Assuming that the scattering of the magnetic flux at the gap edges is negligible, find the modulus of the magnetic field strength vector inside the magnet.

HbB/μ0πd=0.10kA/mH \approx b B / \mu_{0} \pi d= 0.10 kA/m
