A long solenoid of radius 3 cm has 1100 turns per meter. If the solenoid carries a current of 1.5 A, then calculate the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. a. 2.1E^-3T b. 1.0E^-3 T c. 1.7E^-4T d. 7.0E^-2 T

The magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B at the center of the solenoid is given by

B = μ₀ni where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m, n = number of turns per unit length of the solenoid = 1100 turns per meter and i = current in the solenoid = 1.5 A.

So B = μ₀ni

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1100 × 1.5 A

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1650 A-turns/m

= 20734.5 × 10⁻⁷T  

= 2.07345 × 10⁻³ T

≅ 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

a, c, d, e are all applying about success strategies.
