Q.

A tightly wound long solenoid carries a current of 1.5 A. An electron is executing uniform circular motion inside the solenoid with a time period of 75 ns. The number of turns per metre in the solenoid is ________.

[Take mass of electron me=9×1031 kg, charge of electron |qe|=1.6×1019C, μ0=4π×107NA2, 1 ns=109 s]          [2025]


Ans.

(250)

Since time period of a revolving charge is 2πmqB

Where B = magnetic field

Due to a solenoid Bμ0nI

 2πmqT=μ0nI

 n=2πmqTμ0I

            =2π×9×10311.6×1019×75×109×4π×107×1.5

 n=9×10311.6×1019×75×109×2×107×1.5

 n=9×104360=250 per meter
