The permeability of the iron core, mu = 0.0040 henrys per metre

If we assume that, a maximum flux of PHI_max is produced when 2200Vrms is applied to the primary winding of Nm turns of the transformer,

Vrms = (Nm * PHI)/(sqrt 2)

From this, PHI_max = sqrt(2) * Vrms/Nm

= sqrt(2) * 2200/1000

= ...
