A long solenoid with 10.0turns/cmand a radius of 7.0cmcarries a current of20.0mA . A current of 6.00Aexists in a straight conductor located along the central axis of the solenoid. (a) At what radial distance from the axis will the direction of the resulting magnetic field be at 45°to the axial direction?

(b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic field there?

Understanding the concept of magnetic field and toroid

The magnetic fieldsdue to solenoid and the long wire are perpendicular to each other.For the net field at450with the axis,we have toequate themagnetic fields to get the radial distance. As the magnitude of the magnetic fieldsare thesame and both are perpendicular to each other, we can calculate the net magnitude of the magnetic field.

Formula:

Bs=μ0isn

Bw=μ0iw2Ï€»å

(a) Determining the radial distance from the axis at which the direction of the resulting magnetic field will be at  45° to the axial direction

The net field at a point inside the solenoid is the vector sum of the fields of the solenoid and that of the long straight wire along the central axis of the solenoid.

Thus, B→=Bs→+Bw→

where,Bs→andBw→are the fields due to the solenoid and the wire respectively.

The direction of Bs→is along the axis of the solenoid, and the direction of Bw→is perpendicular to it, so the two fields are perpendicular to each other.

For the net field B→to be at 450with the axis, we must have Bs→=Bw→.

We know the magnetic field due to solenoid is

Bs=μ0isn

And the magnetic field due to straight wire is

Bw=μ0iw2Ï€»å

Therefore, equating the two magnetic fields,

μ0isn=μ0iw2Ï€»å

Then the radial distance dis

d=iw2Ï€¾±sn=6‼î2π×0.02‼î×1000 t³Ü°ù²Ô²õ/³¾=0.047m

The radial distance from the axis at which the direction of the resulting magnetic field will be at 45°to the axial direction is d=0.047m

(b) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field

The magnetic field strength is given by the equation

B=Bs2+Bw2+2BsBw³¦´Ç²õθ

Since both the magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and their magnitudes arethesame, i.e.,

Bs=Bwand θ=90°

So, B=Bs2+Bs2

B=2Bs

B=2μ0isn=2×4π×10-7 N´¡-2×0.02‼î×1000 t³Ü°ù²Ô²õ/³¾=3.55×10-5T

The magnitude of the magnetic field is B=3.55×10-5T.
