Complete question:
A solenoid of length 2.40 m and radius 1.70 cm carries a current of 0.190 A. Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field inside if the solenoid consists of 2100 turns of wire.
Answer:
The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 2.089 x 10⁻⁴ T.
Explanation:
Given;
length of solenoid, L = 2.4 m
radius of solenoid, R = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m
current in the solenoid, I = 0.19 A
number of turns of the solenoid, N = 2100 turns
The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is given by;
B = μnI
Where;
μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A
n is number of turns per length = N/L
I is current in the solenoid
B = μnI = μ(N/L)I
B = 4π x 10⁻⁷(2100 / 2.4)0.19
B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ (875) 0.19
B = 2.089 x 10⁻⁴ T
Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 2.089 x 10⁻⁴ T.
