A solenoid used to produce magnetic fields for research purposes is 2.0 m long, with an inner radius of 30 cm and 1000 turns of wire. When running, the solenoid produces a field of 1.0 T in the center. Given this, how large a current does it carry?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The current the solenoid carries is as large as 1591.3 A

Explanation:

Given;

length of solenoid, L = 2.0m

radius of the solenoid, R = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of turns of wire, N = 1000

strength of magnetic field, B = 1.0 T

The magnetic field strength inside a solenoid is;

[tex]B = \mu_o nI\\\\[/tex]

Where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space, = 4π x 10⁻⁷

n is number of turns per length

I is the current in the solenoid

[tex]B = \mu_o nI\\\\B = \mu_o \frac{N}{L} I\\\\B = \frac{\mu_oNI}{L} \\\\I = \frac{BL}{\mu_oN} \\\\I = \frac{1*2 }{4\pi* 10^{-7}*1000} \\\\I = 1591.3 \ A[/tex]

Therefore, the current the solenoid carries is as large as 1591.3 A
