(a) A long, straight solenoid has N turns, uniform cross-sectional area A, and length l. Show that the inductance of this solenoid is given by the equation L=μ0AN2l. Assume that the magnetic field is uniform inside the solenoid and zero outside. (Your answer is approximate because B is actually smaller at the ends than at the center. For this reason, your answer is actually an upper limit on the inductance.) (b) A metallic laboratory spring is typically 5cmlong and 0.15cmin diameter and has 50coils. If you connect such a spring in an electric circuit, how much self-inductance must you include for it if you model it as an ideal solenoid?

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic field in a solenoid

For a long solenoid ofNturns, lengthiand currenti, the magnetic field is given byB=μ0ni=μ0NIi.

For the area of cross-section A, the magnetic flux is given by role="math" localid="1664194375207" ϕ=BA=μ0NAil.

The self-inductance is defined as L=NϕBi.

Clearly, after substituting the flux equation, we will getL=μ0N2Al .

02

Calculate the self-inductance

Given that I=5cmand D=.015cmandN=50.

role="math" localid="1664194642248" A=πD24A=π×0.001524A=1.767×10-6m2

The self-inductance is given by

L=4π×10-7×502×1.767×10-60.05L=1.11×10-7H

So, the self-inductance is1.11×10-7H.
