Question

Consider a system consisting of two concentric solenoids, as illustrated in Figure 22–50. The current in the outer solenoid is \(I_{1}=1.25 \mathrm{~A}\), and the current in the inner solenoid is \(I_{2}=2.17 \mathrm{~A}\). Given that the number of turns per centimeter is 105 for the outer solenoid and 125 for the inner solenoid, find the magnitude and direction of magnetic field

(a) between the solenoids and

(b) inside the inner solenoid.

Solution

Solution 94 GP:

Step 1 of 2:-

a)

Here, we have to calculate the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field between the solenoids.

We know that, the magnetic field outside a solenoid is zero, so there will not be any contribution from the inner solenoid, for the net magnetic field in between the solenoids.

The only magnetic field will be because of the outer solenoid.

So,

     

      .

As,

And the direction comes from the anticlockwise rotation of the current.

So, the magnetic field in between the solenoids is .
