  2. B \(2.5 \times 10^{-4}\)
  3. C \(4 \times 10^{-4}\)
  4. D \(5 \times 10^{-4}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8 \times 10^{-4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct option is (A).
Concept: Magnetic induction \(\mathrm{B}=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{A}}\),
The permeability is the ratio of magnetic induction and the magnetic field \(\mu=\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{H}}\).
Therefore, permeability can be written as \(\mu=\frac{\phi}{\mathrm{AH}}\)
Given values are, \(\mathrm{A}=0.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\) and \(\phi=2.4 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~Wb}\)
\(B=\frac{\phi}{A}=\frac{\left(2.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~Wb}\right)}{\left(0.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\right)}=0.8 \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
Therefore, \(\mu=\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{H}}=\frac{0.8}{1000}=8 \times 10^{-4}\)
