(a) The number of turns in the toroidal solenoid is 1000 turns.

(b) The resistance of the toroidal solenoid is 2.09 Ω.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Faraday’s law states that a current is induced in a conductor when it is exposed to a time varying magnetic flux. This induced current is driven by a force called electromotive or electromagnetic force. The magnitude of induced emf is given by

ε=-Ldidt

Where L is the inductance of the conductor.

An inductor is a passive two-terminal device that stores energy in a magnetic field when current passes through it.

Lenz further explained the direction of this induced current. According to lenz, the direction of induced current will be such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes the changing magnetic field which caused its induction.

02

Number of turns

We are given,

The inductance of solenoid, L = 0.100 mH

Cross sectional area, A = 0.600 cm2

Mean radius of solenoid, r = 12.0 cm

Self-Inductance of a toroidal solenoid is given by

L=μ0N2A2Ï€°ùN=2Ï€°ùLμ0A=0.120m10-4H2*10-7Tm/A0.600*10-4m2=1000turns

Therefore, the number of turns in the toroidal solenoid is 1000 turns.

03

Resistance of Solenoid

The resistance per unit length of the wire is given so if the length of the wire is known then resistance of the wire can be determined easily.

Let L be the length of the wire, and c be the circumference of one turn then,

L=N.c=N(2Ï€°ù)=2±·Ï€AÏ€=2NÏ€´¡=2*1000*Ï€0.600*10-4m2=27.46m

Thus, the resistance of the wire = (0.0760 Ω) x (27.46 m) = 2.09 Ω

Therefore, the resistance of the toroidal solenoid is 2.09 Ω.
