Three identical long solenoid P,Q and R ...

Three identical long solenoid P,Q and R are connected to each other as shown in fig. If the magnetic field at the centre of P is 2.0T, what would be the field (inT) at the centre of Q? Assume that the field due to any solenoid is confined within the volume of that solenoid only.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`(1)`

(1) As the solenoids are identical , the currents in Q and R will be
the same and will be half the current in P. The magnetic field
within a solenoid is given by `B=mu_0ni`. Hence the field in Q will
be equal to the field in R and will be half the field in P, i.e., 1.0T.

12T

An infinite long solenoid having n turns per unit length is shown in figure. The magnetic field at P, when a current I is flowing through it would be

`mu_(0)nI`

zero

`(mu_(0)nI)/(2sqrt(2))`

`(mu_(0)nI)/(2)[1-(1)/(sqrt(2))]`

A long solenoid has 200 turns per cm and carries a current of 2.5A. The magnetic field at its centre is

`6.28xx10^-2Wb//m^2`

`9.42xx10^-2Wb//m^2`

`12.56xx10^-2Wb//m^2`
