A 200turnsolenoid having a length of25cmand a diameter of10cmcarries a current of0.29A. Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 3×10-4T.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • l=25cm=0.25m
  • d=10cm=0.10m
  • N=200
  • i=0.29A
02

Understanding the concept of magnetic field and solenoid  

We can calculate the magnetic field due to an ideal solenoid. In our case, the solenoid has a definite length, so we use this equation to calculate the magnetic field inside the solenoid.

Formula:

B=μ0in=μ0iNl

03

Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field

We can calculate the magnetic field.

B=μ0in=μ0iNl=1.26×10-6×0.29×2000.25=2.92×10-4T3×10-4T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 3×10-4T.
