Practice question

**Core magnetization** M = (μ_r -1)nI, so B = μ₀(nI + M). High μ_r materials like soft iron increase B dramatically for same nI, used in electromagnets, with μ_r up to 5000, enabling strong fields with low current. B = μ₀ μ_r n I . Given: n = 900 m⁻¹ , I = 3 A , μ_r = 250 , μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ . B = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 250 × 900 × 3 = 0.8478 T ≈ 0.85 T . Substituting values gives 0.85 T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque
