The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic induction (magnetic field) at the axis inside a solenoid, we can use the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 n I \] where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field inside the solenoid, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, approximately \( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \), - \( n \) is the number of turns per unit length (in turns per meter), - \( I \) is the current flowing through the solenoid (in amperes). ### Step 1: Calculate the number of turns per meter The given number of turns is 10 turns per centimeter. To convert this to turns per meter: \[ n = 10 \, \text{turns/cm} \times 100 \, \text{cm/m} = 1000 \, \text{turns/m} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Now we can substitute the values into the formula for \( B \): \[ B = \mu_0 n I \] Substituting the known values: - \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \) - \( n = 1000 \, \text{turns/m} \) - \( I = 10 \, \text{A} \) \[ B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (1000) \times (10) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Calculating the above expression step by step: \[ B = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 10000 \] \[ B = 4\pi \times 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the numerical value Using the approximate value of \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ B \approx 4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-3} \approx 12.56 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \approx 0.01256 \, \text{T} \] ### Final Answer The magnetic induction at the axis inside the solenoid is approximately: \[ B \approx 0.01256 \, \text{T} \text{ or } 12.56 \, \text{mT} \] ---

To find the magnetic induction (magnetic field) at the axis inside a solenoid, we can use the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 n I \] where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field inside the solenoid, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, approximately \( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \), - \( n \) is the number of turns per unit length (in turns per meter), ...
