Chapter 21 Problem 45

Question

A physics professor wants to demonstrate the large size of the henry unit. On the outside of a 12-cm- diameter plastic hollow tube, she wants to wind an air-filled solenoid with self-inductance of 1.0 H using copper wire with a 0.81-mm diameter. The solenoid is to be tightly wound with each turn touching its neighbor (the wire has a thin insulating layer on its surface so the neighboring turns are not in electrical contact). How long will the plastic tube need to be and how many kilometers of copper wire will be required? What will be the resistance of this solenoid?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A physics professor wants to demonstrate the large size of the henry unit. On the outside of a 12-cm- diameter plastic hollow tube, she wants to wind an air-filled solenoid with self-inductance of 1.0 H using copper wire with a 0.81-mm diameter. The solenoid is to be tightly wound with each turn touching its neighbor (the wire has a thin insulating layer on its surface so the neighboring turns are not in electrical contact). How long will the plastic tube need to be and how many kilometers of copper wire will be required? What will be the resistance of this solenoid?
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faradays Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
