Exercise E1 Magnetic Flux Density
(written test, approx. 6 % of a 120-minute written test, SS2021)
An electric motor is operated for experiments in the laboratory. An alternating current with an amplitude of $\hat{I} = 100~\rm A$ is operated.
You stand next to it and think about whether you have any health problems to worry about. The figure below shows the top view of the laboratory with the supply line between $\rm A$ and $\rm B$.
$\mu_{0} = 4\pi\cdot 10^{-7} {{\rm Vs}\over{\rm Am}}$, $\mu_{r}=1$
a) What is the highest magnetic flux density through the line in your body? (3 points)
The magnetic field strength for a conducting wire is given as:
\begin{align*} H &= {{I}\over{2\pi \cdot r}} \end{align*}
The magnetic flux density $B$ is given as: $B = \mu_0 \mu_r H$
Here, the maximum current is $\hat{I} = 100~\rm A$ and the distance to the cable is $r = \sqrt{(0.1 {~\rm m})^2 + (0.4 {~\rm m})^2}= 0.412... ~\rm m$.
Therefore: \begin{align*} B &= 4\pi\cdot 10^{-7} {{\rm Vs}\over{\rm Am}} \cdot 1 \cdot {{100 ~\rm A}\over{2\pi \cdot 0.412... ~\rm m}} \end{align*}
b) The limit value for the magnetic flux density at the frequency used is $B_0 = 100~\rm \mu T$.
At what distance around the conductor is this value exceeded? (3 points, independent)
The formula for the magnetic field strength can be rearranged: \begin{align*} H &= {{I}\over{2\pi \cdot r}} \\ r &= {{I}\over{2\pi \cdot H}} \\ \end{align*}
Again, the magnetic flux density $B$ is given as: $B = \mu_0 \mu_r H$
Therefore:
\begin{align*}
r &= \mu_0 \mu_r {{ I }\over{2\pi \cdot B}} \\
&= 4\pi\cdot 10^{-7} {{\rm Vs}\over{\rm Am}} {{100 ~\rm A}\over{2\pi \cdot 100\cdot 10^{-6} {~\rm T}}} \\
\end{align*}
