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

Three identical long solenoids P,Q and R are connected to each other as shown in figure . If the magnetic field at the centre of P is 2.0 T, what would be the field 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

Solution: As the solenoids are identical, the currents in
Q and R will be same and will be half the current
in P. The magnetic field within a solenoid is given by
` B=(mu_0)ni. Hence the field in Q will be equal to the field`
in R and will be half the field in P, i.e., will be 1.0 T.
