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.
