The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying solenoid are correct, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** The magnetic field produced by a current-carrying solenoid is independent of its length and cross-sectional area. - The magnetic field \( B \) inside a long solenoid can be expressed by the formula: \[ B = \mu_0 \cdot n \cdot I \] where: - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (a constant), - \( n \) is the number of turns per unit length (which depends on how tightly the wire is wound), - \( I \) is the current flowing through the solenoid. - From the formula, we can see that the magnetic field \( B \) depends on \( n \) (number of turns per unit length) and \( I \) (current), but it does not depend on the total length of the solenoid or its cross-sectional area. **Conclusion for Statement I:** True. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** The magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform. - The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is considered uniform when the length of the solenoid is much greater than its radius (or cross-sectional dimensions). This means that in the central region of the solenoid, the magnetic field lines are parallel and evenly spaced, indicating a uniform field. - However, at the ends of the solenoid, the field may not be uniform and can vary. But in the central region, the field remains uniform as long as the solenoid is sufficiently long compared to its diameter. **Conclusion for Statement II:** True. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are correct: - **Statement I is true.** - **Statement II is true.** ### Final Answer Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. ---
