When the current in a toroidal solenoid is changing at a rate of 0.0260 A/s, the magnitude of the induced emf is 12.2 mV. When the current equals 1.40 A, the average flux through each turn of the solenoid is 0.00308 Wb. How many turns does the solenoid have?

The solenoid has 213 turns.

Explanation:

The number of the solenoid's turns (N) can be found as follows:

   (1)

Where:

L: is the self-inductance of the solenoid

I: is the current = 1.40 A

: is the magnetic flux = 0.00308 Wb      

The self-inductance of the solenoid (L) is:

  (2)

Where:

ε: is the induced emf = 12.2x10⁻³ V

dI/dt: is the rate changing of the current = 0.0260 A/s

By entering equation (2) into (1) we can find the number of turns:

Therefore, the solenoid has 213 turns.

wavelength divides in half and speed stays the same.
