Question

A closely wound solenoid 80 cm long has 5 layers of windings of 400 turns each. The diameter of the solenoid is 1.8 cm. If the current carried is 8.0 A, estimate the magnitude of B inside the solenoid near its centre.

Open in App
Solution

Length of the solenoid, l = 80 cm = 0.8 m

There are five layers of windings of 400 turns each on the solenoid.

Total number of turns on the solenoid, N = 5 × 400 = 2000

Diameter of the solenoid, D = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

Current carried by the solenoid, I = 8.0 A

Magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is given by the relation,

Where,

= Permeability of free space = 4π × 10–7 T m A–1

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is 2.512 × 10–2 T.
