Q.

If it takes 520 turns to make a solenoid that is 40 cm long with a radius of 1.2 m that carries a current of 6 A, then determine the magnetic field inside the solenoid

1 7.2×10-3T  
2 9.8×10-3T  
3 8.4×10-4T  
4 10.2×10-4T

Given,
I=6 A, L=40 cm=0.4 m, r=1.2 m, N=520

We know that,B=μ0NIL

On substituting the values in above formula:

B=4π×10-7×520×60.4=4×3.14×10-7×520×60.4=97968×10-7=9.8×10-3T

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

B=9.8×10-3T
