The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( N \) given the parameters of a solenoid and the formula for the magnetic field strength at its center. Let's go through the steps systematically. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Length of the solenoid, \( L = 0.4 \, \text{m} \) - Diameter of the solenoid, \( d = 0.6 \, \text{m} \) - Number of turns, \( N = 1000 \) - Current, \( I = 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{A} \) 2. **Calculate the Radius of the Solenoid:** - The radius \( r \) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.6}{2} = 0.3 \, \text{m} \] 3. **Determine the Ratio of Length to Radius:** - Calculate \( \frac{L}{r} \): \[ \frac{L}{r} = \frac{0.4}{0.3} = \frac{4}{3} \] - Since \( \frac{L}{r} > 1 \), we conclude that this is a long solenoid. 4. **Use the Formula for Magnetic Field Strength:** - The magnetic field strength \( B \) at the center of a long solenoid is given by: \[ B = \mu_0 n I \] - Where \( n \) is the number of turns per unit length: \[ n = \frac{N}{L} = \frac{1000}{0.4} = 2500 \, \text{turns/m} \] 5. **Substitute Values into the Magnetic Field Formula:** - The permeability of free space \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \). - Substitute \( n \) and \( I \) into the formula: \[ B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7}) \times (2500) \times (5.0 \times 10^{-3}) \] 6. **Calculate the Magnetic Field Strength:** - First, calculate \( 2500 \times 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \): \[ 2500 \times 5.0 \times 10^{-3} = 12.5 \] - Now, substitute back: \[ B = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 12.5 = 50\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} \] 7. **Express the Magnetic Field in the Required Form:** - We want to express \( B \) in the form \( \frac{\pi}{N} \times 10^{-5} \): \[ B = 50\pi \times 10^{-7} = \frac{\pi}{N} \times 10^{-5} \] 8. **Compare and Solve for \( N \):** - Equating the two expressions: \[ 50 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{1}{N} \times 10^{-5} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ N = \frac{1 \times 10^{-5}}{50 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{10^{-5}}{50 \times 10^{-7}} = \frac{10^{-5}}{5 \times 10^{-6}} = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( N \) is \( 2 \).
