A coil of 700 turns is wound onto the both armatures to complete the sensor’s structure. Given that the relative permeability of air is 1.0 and the permeability of free space is 47107 Hm. Supposed that the inductance of the sensors are: Lo and Lo 4=Tya@-= bh T+a(atx) + Centre line Ly Figure Q3 Differential inductance displacement sensor (a) Evaluate inductance at zero air gap.
