Problem 19E
A solenoid 25.0 cm long and with a cross-sectional area of 0.500 cm2 contains 400 turns of wire and carries a current of 80.0 A. Calculate: (a) the magnetic field in the solenoid; (b) the energy density in the magnetic field if the solenoid is filled with air; (c) the total energy contained in the coil’s magnetic field (assume the field is uniform); (d) the inductance of the solenoid.
ANSWER:
Solution 19E
Step 1 of 5:
The given solenoid carries a current I=80 A, has N=400 turns of wire with length l=25 cm and cross sectional area A=0.5.
Given data,
Current , I =80 A
Number of turns, N= 400
length, l= 25
Cross sectional area A=0.5
Permeability of free space,
To find,
- The magnetic field in the solenoid, B=?
- The energy density in the magnetic field,
- The total energy,
- Self inductance of the solenoid, L=?
