The correct Answer is:
To find the magnetic field at the center of a closely wound circular coil, we can use the formula for the magnetic field due to a coil: \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 \cdot n \cdot I}{2R} \] Where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field at the center of the coil, - \( \mu_0 \) 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, - \( I \) is the current in amperes, - \( R \) is the radius of the coil in meters. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Number of turns, \( N = 100 \) - Radius of the coil, \( R = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) - Current, \( I = 3.2 \, \text{A} \) - Permeability of free space, \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \) 2. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** \[ B = \frac{\mu_0 \cdot N \cdot I}{2R} \] \[ B = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \cdot 100 \cdot 3.2}{2 \cdot 0.1} \] 3. **Calculate the Magnetic Field:** - First, calculate the numerator: \[ 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \cdot 100 \cdot 3.2 = 4\pi \times 320 \times 10^{-7} \] - Now, calculate \( 2R \): \[ 2 \cdot 0.1 = 0.2 \] - Now, substitute back into the equation: \[ B = \frac{4\pi \times 320 \times 10^{-7}}{0.2} \] - Simplifying further: \[ B = 4\pi \times 1600 \times 10^{-7} \] - Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ B \approx 4 \times 3.14 \times 1600 \times 10^{-7} \approx 2.01 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \] 4. **Final Result:** \[ B \approx 2.01 \, \text{mT} \text{ (milliTesla)} \] ### Conclusion: The magnetic field at the center of the coil is approximately \( 2.01 \, \text{mT} \).
