The electromagnet shown in the Fig. below is to be used to lift an iron slab of mass M=150 kg. The surface roughness of the iron is such that when the iron and the electromagnet are in contact, there is a minimum air gap of 0.2 mm in each leg. The electromagnet has infinite permeability and the crosssectional area Ac is 25 cm2. The number of turns of N-turn winding is 350 and the winding coil resistance is 3 Ω. Calculate the minimum coil voltage which must be used to lift the iron slab against the force of gravity. Neglect the reluctance of the iron. (Hint: Gravitational acceleration constant is 9.8 m/s2)
