An air-filled toroidal solenoid has 300turns of wire, a mean radius of 12cm, and a cross-sectional area of 4cm2. If the current is 5A, calculate: (a) the magnetic field in the solenoid; (b) the self-inductance of the solenoid; (c) the energy stored in the magnetic field; (d) the energy density in the magnetic field. (e) Check your answer for part (d) by dividing your answer to part (c) by the volume of the solenoid.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)B=2.5×10-3T

(b)L=6×10-5H

(c)U=7.5×10-4J

(d)u=2.49J/m3

(e)u=2.49J/m3

Step by step solution

01

The formulas used in the given problem

The magnetic field is given by B=μ0NI2πr.

The self-inductance of a solenoid is given by L=μ0N2A2πr.

The energy stored in a solenoid is given by U=12LI2.

The energy density is simply energy divided by the volume of the solenoid.

02

Calculate the magnetic field

Given thatr=12cm,A=5cm2,N=300andI=5A.

The magnetic field is given by

role="math" localid="1664190143190" B=μ0NI2πrB=4π×10-7×300×52π×0.12B=2.5×10-3T

03

Calculate the self-inductance and the energy stored

The self-inductance is given by

L=μ0N2A2πrL=4π×10-7×3002×4×10-42π×0.12L=6×10-5H

The energy stored is calculated by

U=12LI2U=12×6×10-5×52U=7.5×10-1J

04

Calculate the energy density by two ways

The energy density is given by

u=B22μ0u=(2.5×10-3)22×4π×10-7u=2.49J/m3

The energy density is also given by

u=EnergyVolumeu=U2πrAu=7.5×1042π×0.12×4×10-4u=2.49J/m3

So, by using both the formulas, we get the same value of energy density.

Suppose a resistor R lies alongeach edge of a cube (12 resistors in all)with connections at the corners. Find theequivalent resistance between two diagonally opposite corners of the cube (pointsa and b in Fig. P26.84).

In the circuit shown in Fig. E25.30, the 16.0-V battery is removed and reinserted with the opposite polarity, so that its negative terminal is now next to point a. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude anddirection); (b) the terminal voltage Vbaof the 16.0-V battery; (c) the potential difference Vacof point awith respect to point c. (d) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).

You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,

each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is gold, one

is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity

values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of1.93×10-4kgm3.

What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is

this wire very expensive?

We have seen that a coulomb is an enormous amount of charge; it is virtually impossible to place a charge of 1 C on an object. Yet, a current of 10A,10C/sis quite reasonable. Explain this apparent discrepancy.

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity ÒÏ. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by

R=ÒÏ4Ï€(1a-1b)

(b) Derive an expression for the current density as a function of radius, in terms of the potential differenceVab between the spheres. (c) Show that the result in part (a) reduces to Eq. (25.10) when the separation L=b-abetween the spheres is small.
