Correct question:
A solenoid of length 0.35 m and diameter 0.040 m carries a current of 5.0 A through its windings. If the magnetic field in the center of the solenoid is 2.8 x 10⁻² T, what is the number of turns per meter for this solenoid?
Answer:
the number of turns per meter for the solenoid is 4.5 x 10³ turns/m.
Explanation:
Given;
length of solenoid, L= 0.35 m
diameter of the solenoid, d = 0.04 m
current through the solenoid, I = 5.0 A
magnetic field in the center of the solenoid, 2.8 x 10⁻² T
The number of turns per meter for the solenoid is calculated as follows;
[tex]B =\mu_o I(\frac{N}{L} )\\\\B = \mu_o I(n)\\\\n = \frac{B}{\mu_o I} \\\\n = \frac{2.8 \times 10^{-2}}{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 5.0} \\\\n = 4.5 \times 10^3 \ turns/m[/tex]
Therefore, the number of turns per meter for the solenoid is 4.5 x 10³ turns/m.
