Problem 3.282

An iron core shaped as a tore with mean radius R=250 mmR=250 \mathrm{~mm} supports a winding with the total number of turns N=1000N=1000. The core has a cross-cut of width b=1.00 mm.b=1.00 \mathrm{~mm} . With a current I=I= =0.85=0.85 A flowing through the winding, the magnetic induction in the gap is equal to B=0.75 TB=0.75 \mathrm{~T}. Assuming the scattering of the magnetic flux at the gap edges to be negligible, find the permeability of iron under these conditions.
