A long solenoid of radius 1 mm has 100 turns per mm. If 1 A current flows in the solenoid, the magnetic field strength at the centre of the solenoid is
- 6.28 10-2 T
- 12.56 10-2 T
- 12.56 10-4 T
- 6.28 10-4 T
Answer
(2) 12.56 10-2 T
Solution
Number of turns per unit length: n = 1001 mm = 10010-3 m = 105 m-1
Field inside a long solenoid (independent of its radius): B = 0 n I
B = (4 10-7) 105 1
= 4 10-2 T
= 12.56 10-2 T
Answer: (2)
