ANSWER:

Solution 3E

A 10.0-cm-long solenoid of diameter 0.400 cm is wound uniformly with 800 turns. A second coil with 50 turns is wound around the solenoid at its center.

Step 1 of 2:

A coil is wound around a solenoid, so magnetic flux from the solenoid passes through the coil.

The magnetic field inside the solenoid can be expressed in terms of number of turns per unit length

= =

The flux through a cross section of the solenoid equals . As we mentioned above, this also equals the flux through each turn of the outer second coil, independent of its cross-sectional area.

The mutual induction  is then given by

=  = = A =

Where and are number of turns in solenoid and second coil respectively.
