🔍 Key Concepts

• How the core material (air vs iron) affects magnetic field strength • Relationship between magnetic permeability and inductance • Basic definition of inductance in terms of magnetic flux and current

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the magnetic field lines when you replace air with iron inside a coil: do they become stronger, weaker, or stay the same for the same current? • How does a material with higher magnetic permeability than air influence the ability of a coil to store magnetic energy? • Which option directly describes a change in inductance, and which options describe other, unrelated effects?

✅ Before You Answer

• Recall that inductance is proportional to the core material’s relative permeability (μr) • Compare the permeability of air versus iron • Verify whether parasitic oscillations are an inherent result of changing the core material, or if they depend on a larger circuit configuration
