Solenoid — Number of TurnsEasyQuestion 20235

Question

A solenoid has 500 turns, length 25 cm, and carries 2 A. Field inside (μ₀ = 4π×10⁻⁷) is:
  1. A
    4π×10⁻³ T
    Correct
  2. B
    2π×10⁻³ T
  3. C
    8π×10⁻³ T
  4. D
    π×10⁻³ T

Correct answer

4π×10⁻³ T

Explanation

n = 500/0.25 = 2000 turns/m. B = μ₀nI = 4π×10⁻⁷ × 2000 × 2 = 16π×10⁻⁴ T = 4π×10⁻³ T.
