Comparing an iron-cored and an air-cored solenoid of the same winding and current, the iron-cored one gives

  • A.a smaller flux density because of the reluctance of the iron
  • B.a flux density independent of the current in the winding
  • C.a much larger flux density and a nonlinear characteristic
  • D.the same flux density but a larger field intensity

Answer: C

The field intensity is set by the ampere-turns per metre and is unchanged, but the flux density is multiplied by the relative permeability. Because that permeability falls as the iron saturates, the relation between current and flux is no longer a straight line.
