An iron ring has its mean length of flux path as 60 cm and its cross sectional area as 15 cm^2. Its relative permeability is 500. Find the current required to be passed, through a coil of 300 turns wound uniformly around it, to produce a flux density of 1.2 tesla. What would be the flux density with the same current, if the iron ring is replaced by air core?
