Relative Permeability of Iron Rod

A magnetic field strength (\(H\)) equal to \(3 \times 10^3\text{ A m}^{-1}\) produces a magnetic field of induction (\(B\)) equal to \(12\pi\) tesla in an iron rod. The relative permeability of the iron rod is
\(10^3\)
\(10^2\)
\(10^4\)
\(10^5\)

Solution:

The relationship is \(B = \mu H = \mu_r \mu_0 H\). Given \(B = 12\pi\text{ T}\), \(H = 3 \times 10^3\text{ A m}^{-1}\), and \(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\text{ T m A}^{-1}\). Thus, \(12\pi = \mu_r (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(3 \times 10^3)\), which simplifies to \(\mu_r = 10^4\).
