A long solenoid of radius 1 mm has 100 turns per mm. If 1 A current flows in the solenoid, the magnetic field strength at the centre of the solenoid is:
A
6.28×10−4 T
B
6.28×10−2 T
C
12.56×10−2 T
D
12.56×10−4 T
Step-by-Step Solution
Identify Formula: The magnetic field (B) inside a long solenoid is given by B=μ0nI, where μ0=4π×10−7 T m/A, n is the number of turns per unit length, and I is the current.
Unit Conversion: The number of turns density is given in turns per mm. Convert this to SI units (turns per meter).
n=100 turns/mm=100×103 turns/m=105 turns/m
Substitute Values:μ0=4π×10−7 T m/An=105 m−1
I=1 AB=(4π×10−7)×(105)×1
Calculate:B=4π×10−2 TB≈4×3.14×10−2 TB=12.56×10−2 T
