Short Answer

Expert verified

The current iin the solenoid isi=0.272A

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

n=100/0.01m

r=2.30cm=0.023m

v=0.0460c

02

Significance of magnetic field

The area in which the force of magnetism acts around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge is known as the magnetic field.

We can find the orbital radius of the electron by equating the magnitude of magnetic force and the centripetal force. For a long solenoid, we can find the currenti by using equation29-23.

Formula:

B=μ0in

F=qvB

F=mv2r

03

(a) Determining the current i in the solenoid  

For a charged particle in equilibrium, the centripetal force must be equal to the magnetic force, i.e.

mv2r=qvB

mvr=qB

r=mvqB

This is the orbital radius of the electron.

But for solenoid, the magnetic field isB=μ0in

Substituting this in the equation for radius

r=mv±çμ0in

Rearranging this equation for current

i=mv±çμ0rn=9.1×10−31 k²µÃ—0.0460×3×108m/s1.6×10−19 C×4π×10−7 N´¡-2×0.023″¾Ã—1000.01turns/m=0.272A

The current iin the solenoid isi=0.272A
