A solenoid of radius 10 cm carrying current 0.29 A and having total 200 turns. If magnetic field inside solenoid is\( 2.9 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\). Find length of solenoid.(Shift - II Memory Based)
\(8 \pi \mathrm{~cm}\)
We are given:
- Radius of solenoid = \(r=10\)cm (not needed in calculations)
- Current = \(I=0.29\) A
- Total number of turns = \(N=200\)
- Magnetic field inside the solenoid = \(B=2.9\times 1{0}^{−4}\)
We need to determine the length of the solenoid (\(L\)).
Step 1: Using the Magnetic Field Formula for a SolenoidThe magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by:
\(B={\mu }_{0}nI\)
where:
-
\({\mu }_{0}\) is the permeability of free space, \({\mu }_{0}=4\pi \times 1{0}^{−7}\)
-
\(n\)n is the number of turns per unit length, given by:
\(n=\frac{N}{L}\) -
\(I\) is the current.
Rewriting the equation:
\(B={\mu }_{0}\frac{N}{L}I\)
Solving for \(L\):
\(L=\frac{{\mu }_{0}NI}{B}\)
Step 2: Substituting Values\(L=\frac{(4\pi \times 1{0}^{−7})(200)(0.29)}{2.9\times 1{0}^{−4}}\)
\(L=\frac{(4\pi \times 1{0}^{−7}\times 200\times 0.29)}{2.9\times 1{0}^{−4}}\)
\(L=8\pi \text{ cm}\)
Final Answer:\(B\ 8\pi \text{ cm}\)
