The correct Answer is:
To determine the factors on which the strength of the magnetic field due to a solenoid depends, we can analyze the formula for the magnetic field inside a solenoid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Formula**: The magnetic field \( B \) inside a solenoid can be expressed using the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 \cdot n \cdot I \] where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (a constant), - \( n \) is the number of turns per unit length of the solenoid, - \( I \) is the current flowing through the solenoid. 2. **Identifying the Variables**: - The strength of the magnetic field \( B \) depends on: - The **current** \( I \): As the current increases, the magnetic field strength increases. - The **number of turns per unit length** \( n \): More turns per unit length result in a stronger magnetic field. - The **permeability of the material** inside the solenoid: If the solenoid has a core material, the relative permeability \( \mu_r \) of that material will also affect the magnetic field strength. The modified formula becomes: \[ B = \mu_0 \cdot \mu_r \cdot n \cdot I \] 3. **Conclusion**: From the analysis, we conclude that the strength of the magnetic field due to a solenoid depends on: - The current \( I \), - The number of turns per unit length \( n \), - The permeability of the core material \( \mu_r \). ### Final Answer: The strength of the magnetic field due to a solenoid depends on the current \( I \), the number of turns per unit length \( n \), and the relative permeability \( \mu_r \) of the core material. ---
