Magnetic field with and without ferrite core

AI Thread Summary
Inserting a ferrite core with a relative permeability (μr) of 200 into an air core circular coil significantly increases the magnetic field at a point in space outside the coil. The magnetic field at the center of the coil increases by μr times, suggesting a similar effect at other points. The formulas for calculating the magnetic field differ between air core and ferrite core scenarios, with the ferrite core yielding a higher magnetic field. The discussion emphasizes that the additional field lines generated by the ferrite core must influence the magnetic field outside the coil. Overall, the presence of the ferrite core enhances the magnetic field strength considerably.

An air core circular coil of n turns produced a magnetic field of (for eg) 0.5 tesla at a point in space (not within the coil nor along the axis of coil). If a ferrite core of μr (relative permeability)=200 and of the same length of the coil is inserted into the coil what happens to the magnetic field at the same point.
Will it increase by μr times or stay constant?
NOTE:
The magnetic field at the center of coil increases by μr times.

The Magnetic Field will surely increase big times

β = μ0×I×n/(2πι) if the Coil is air core
However
β = μr×I×n/(2πι)
Where l is the distance to the coil ^^"
Hope I've helped ...

My first instinct is to say, "all those extra field lines inside the coil have to go *somewhere*, so yes it increases, and by the same multiplier. That still sounds right after a minute of reflection. I've never learned any formulas for ferromagnetism, though.

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
