Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

The magnetic field inside a superconducting solenoid is 4.00 T. The solenoid has an inner diameter of 6.20 cm and a length of 26

Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is 6.366 J/m³

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid is 5 kJ

Explanation:

magnitude of magnetic field inside solenoid, B = 4 T

inner diameter of solenoid, d = 6.2 cm

inner radius of the solenoid, r = 3.1 cm = 0.031 m

length of solenoid, L = 26 cm = 0.26 m

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is given by;

$u _B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_o} \\\\u _B = \frac{(4)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7})}\\\\u_B = 6.366*10^6 \ J/m^3$

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid

$U_B = u_B V\\\\U_B = u_B AL$

$U_B = u_B(A)(L)\\\\U_B = 6.366*10^6(\pi * 0.031^2)(0.26) \\\\U_B = 4997.69 J\\\\U_B = 5 \ KJ\\$
