The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the solenoid, we can use the relationship between the magnetic moment, magnetization, and the dimensions of the solenoid. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data - Radius of the solenoid, \( R = 4 \, \text{cm} = 0.04 \, \text{m} \) - Number of turns, \( N = 1000 \) - Current, \( I = 8 \, \text{A} \) - Magnetization, \( M = 20000 \, \text{A/m} \) ### Step 2: Formula for Magnetic Moment The magnetic moment \( \mu \) of the solenoid can be expressed as: \[ \mu = N \cdot I \cdot A \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area of the solenoid. ### Step 3: Calculate the Cross-Sectional Area The cross-sectional area \( A \) of the solenoid can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: \[ A = \pi R^2 = \pi (0.04)^2 = \pi (0.0016) \approx 0.0050265 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the Magnetic Moment Formula Substituting the values into the magnetic moment formula: \[ \mu = N \cdot I \cdot A = 1000 \cdot 8 \cdot 0.0050265 \approx 40.212 \, \text{A m}^2 \] ### Step 5: Relate Magnetic Moment to Magnetization Magnetization \( M \) is defined as: \[ M = \frac{\mu}{V} \] where \( V \) is the volume of the solenoid. The volume \( V \) can be expressed as: \[ V = A \cdot L \] Thus, we can write: \[ M = \frac{\mu}{A \cdot L} \] ### Step 6: Rearranging for Length \( L \) From the equation above, we can rearrange to find \( L \): \[ L = \frac{\mu}{M \cdot A} \] ### Step 7: Substitute the Known Values Now, substituting the known values: \[ L = \frac{40.212}{20000 \cdot 0.0050265} \] ### Step 8: Calculate Length \( L \) Calculating the denominator: \[ 20000 \cdot 0.0050265 \approx 100.53 \] Now substituting this back: \[ L = \frac{40.212}{100.53} \approx 0.399 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 9: Convert to Centimeters To convert meters to centimeters: \[ L \approx 0.399 \, \text{m} \approx 39.9 \, \text{cm} \approx 40 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer The length of the solenoid is approximately \( 40 \, \text{cm} \). ---
