a

\(6 \pi \mathrm{~cm}\)

b

\(8 \pi \mathrm{~cm}\)

c

4.5 cm

d

16 cm

✓ Correct answer: b)

\(8 \pi \mathrm{~cm}\)

Explanation

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 Solenoid

The 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:

\(B\ 8\pi \text{ cm}\)
