Chapter 20 Problem 20.80

Question

A 60.0-m length of insulated copper wire is wound to form a solenoid of radius 2.0 cm. The copper wire has a radius of 0.50 mm. (a) What is the resistance of the wire? (b) Treating each turn of the solenoid as a circle, how many turns can be made with the wire? (c) How long is the resulting solenoid? (d) What is the self-inductance of the solenoid? (e) If the solenoid is attached to a battery with an emf of 6.0 V and internal resistance of 350 m, compute the time constant of the circuit. (f) What is the maximum current attained? (g) How long would it take to reach 99.9% of its maximum current? (h) What maximum energy is stored in the inductor? ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 80 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A 60.0-m length of insulated copper wire is wound to form a solenoid of radius 2.0 cm. The copper wire has a radius of 0.50 mm. (a) What is the resistance of the wire? (b) Treating each turn of the solenoid as a circle, how many turns can be made with the wire? (c) How long is the resulting solenoid? (d) What is the self-inductance of the solenoid? (e) If the solenoid is attached to a battery with an emf of 6.0 V and internal resistance of 350 m, compute the time constant of the circuit. (f) What is the maximum current attained? (g) How long would it take to reach 99.9% of its maximum current? (h) What maximum energy is stored in the inductor? ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
