A solenoid of length 30 cm and 3000 turns carries a current of 10 A. The value of the magnetic field ($\vec B$) at the centre of solenoid is: (Given $μ_0 = 4π × 10^{-7} Wb/A-m$) |
$0.13\, Wb/m^2$ $1.256\, Wb/m^2$ $12.56\, Wb/m^2$ $0.628\, Wb/m^2$ |
$0.13\, Wb/m^2$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $0.13\, Wb/m^2$ Magnetic field inside a solenoid: $B = \mu_0 n I$ Length of solenoid, $l = 30 \, \text{cm} = 0.30 \, \text{m}$ Number of turns, $N = 3000$ Turns per unit length, $n = \frac{N}{l} = \frac{3000}{0.30} = 10000 \, \text{turns/m}$ Current, $I = 10 \, \text{A}$ Permeability of free space, $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{Tm/A}$ $B = \mu_0 n I = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(10000)(10)$ $B = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 10^5$ $B = 4\pi \times 10^{-2} \, \text{T}$ $B \approx 0.126 \, \text{T}$ Answer: $B = 0.13 \, \text{T}$ |
