A solenoid 25.0 cmcm long and with a cross-sectional area of 0.550 cm^2 contains 460 turns of wire and carries a current of 90.0

Answer:

a. B = 0.20T

b. u = 17230.6 J/m³

c. E = 0.236J

d. L = 5.84*10^-5 H

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate the magnetic field in the solenoid you use the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_o n i}{L}$ (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

n: turns of the solenoid = 460

L: length of the solenoid = 25.0cm = 0.25m

i: current = 90.0A

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)(90.0A)}{0.25m}=0.20T$

The magnetic field in the solenoid is 0.20T

b. The magnetic permeability of air is approximately equal to the magnetic permeability of vacuum. To calculate the energy density in the solenoid you use:

$u=\frac{B^2}{2\mu_o}=\frac{(0.20T)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)}=17230.6\frac{J}{m^3}$

The energy density is 17230.6 J/m³

c. The total energy contained in the solenoid is:

$E=uV$ (2)

V is the volume of the solenoid and is calculated by assuming the solenoid as a perfect cylinder:

$V=AL$

A: cross-sectional area of the solenoid = 0.550 cm^2 = 5.5*10^-5m^2

$V=(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)(0.25m)=1.375*10^{-5}m^3$

Then, the energy contained in the solenoid is:

$E=(17230.6J/m^3)(1.375*10^{-5}m^3)=0.236J$

The energy contained is 0.236J

d. The inductance of the solenoid is calculated as follow:

$L=\frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{L}=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(460)^2(5.5*10^{-5}m^2)}{0.25m}\\\\L=5.84*10^{-5}H$

The inductance of the solenoid is 5.84*10^-5 H

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States

xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.
