The percentage increase in magnetic field (B) when space within a current carrying solenoid is filled with magnesium (magnetic susceptibility Mg = 1.2 10-5) is :
- 53 10-5\%
- 56 10-4\%
- 56 10-5\%
- 65 10-3\%
Answer
(4) 65 10-3\%
Solution
Without core: B0 = 0 nI; with magnesium: B = 0 r nI = 0 (1 + ) nI
B - B0B0 100 = 100
= 1.2 10-5 100 = 1.2 10-3\%
= 65 10-3\%
Answer: (4)
