Figure shows a copper strip of width W = 16.0 cmthat has been bent to form a shape that consists of a tube of radius R = 1.8 cmplus two parallel flat extensions. Current i = 35 mAis distributed uniformly across the width so that the tube is effectively a one-turn solenoid. Assume that the magnetic field outside the tube is negligible and the field inside the tube is uniform. (a) What is the magnetic field magnitude inside the tube? (b) What is the inductance of the tube (excluding the flat extensions)?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Magnetic field magnitude inside the tube,B=2.7×10-7T
  2. Inductance of the tube, L=8.0×10-9H

Step by step solution

01

Given

  1. Width of the copper strip, W=16.0cm=16.0×10-2m
  2. Radius of the copper tube ,R=1.8×10-2m
  3. Current distributed across the width of the tube ,i=35.0mA=35.0×10-3A

Understanding the concept

For this problem, we can approximate the copper tube to be made up of closely spaced circular loops. So it forms a solenoid with Nturns of radiusand the current is uniformly distributed over all these circular loops or solenoids with Nturns. By this approximation, one can find the field inside the tube.

Formula:

  1. Magnetic flux ϕB=Li=∮B→.dA→
  2. Number of turns per unit length of the solenoid,n=NL
  3. Magnetic field inside solenoid ,B=μ0nl
  4. Inductance of coil,

L=ϕBi

(a) Calculate Magnetic field magnitude inside the tube B 

Let’s assume that the current flowing through each circular loop to be δi , we know that total

Current through the tube is i and this is distributed uniformly over each loop so we get

δi×N=iδi=iN

Now Number of turns per unit width of the solenoid, n=NWand

Magnetic field inside solenoid,

B=μ0nl

Using this two relations we get

B=μ0nl=μ0.NW.δiB=μ0.NW.iNB=μ0iWB=4πμ0i4Ï€°ÂB=4π×10-7×35.0×10-316.0×10-2B=27.47×10-8B=2.74×10-7T

(b) Calculate Inductance of the tube L 

Magnetic flux,

Ï•B=∮B→.dA→B=BAB=BÏ€¸é2Ï•B=BÏ€¸é2Ï•B=2.74×10-7×π×1.8×10-22Ï•B=2.787×10-10Wb

Inductance of coil,

L=ϕBiL=2.787×10-1035.0×10-3L=0.0796×10-7≈8.0×10-9H

In Figure, a rectangular loop of wire with lengtha=2.2cm,widthb=0.80cm,resistanceR=0.40mΩis placed near an infinitely long wire carrying current i = 4.7 A.

The magnetic field of a cylindrical magnet that has a pole-face diameter of 3.3 cmcan be varied sinusoidally between 29.6 Tand 30.0 Tat a frequency of 15Hz.
