Question

A long solenoid that has 810 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.380 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 10-4 T at its center. What current is required in the windings for that to occur

Answer 1

Answer:

0.037 A

Explanation:

Magnetic field = B = 1.00 e-4 T

Length = L = 0.380 m

Number of turns = 810

B = μ₀ N I / L

⇒ Current = I = B L / μ₀ N = ( 1 e-4) ( 0.380) / (4π × 10⁻⁷)(810)

                                            = 0.037 A = 37.3 mA
