A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.[1] While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap

marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B= $3.7\times 10^{-2} T$

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm= $0.5\times 10^{-3} m$

Radius of wire,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm= $1\times 10^{-2} m$

$1 cm=10^{-2} m$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Where $A=\pi r^2$

Using the formula

$4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{l}{2\pi r'}$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800$

Hence, the number of turns of the solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B= $\mu_0 nI$

$3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6$

$n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}$

$n=6404 turns/m$

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$L=\frac{N}{n}$

$L=\frac{799}{6404}$

$L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm$

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

Continue on the momentum it has. The probe will continue in the same direction it is moving because there are no forces to act against it. I think this is the answer you are looking for...?
