Question

In a current-carrying long solenoid, the magnetic field produced does not depend upon

Solution

  1. A solenoid is a coil of a long, insulated copper wire closely wound on a cylinder.
  2. The magnetic field of a solenoid on its axis is given by the formulae, B=μ0nI, where μ0 is the permittivity of free space, n = is the number of turns in unit length and I is the current flowing in the solenoid.
  3. So it is clear that the magnetic field produced in a solenoid does not depend on the radius of the solenoid.

Hence, in a current-carrying long solenoid, the magnetic field produced does not depend upon the radius of the solenoid.
