A solenoid is designed to produce a magnetic field of 0.0270 T at its centre. It has radius 1.40 cm and length 40.0 cm, and the wire can carry a maximum current of 12.0 A. (a) What minimum number of turns per unit length must the solenoid have? (b) What total length of wire is required?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A) The minimum number of turns is 1790turns/m b) The total length of wire is 69.0m

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the magnetic field in solenoid

The magnetic field magnitude B at the center of a current-carrying solenoid isn=Bμ0Iwhere, whereμ0=4π×10−7H/mis permeability of free space, I is the current passing through the coil

02

Calculate the number of the turns

Given B= 0.0270 T, I = 12.0 A, r = 1.40 cm, and L 40.0 cm. Solving for n and substituting the known values of B and I, we find the number if turns.

n=Bμ0l=0.0270T4π×10−7Tm/A×12.0A=1790turns/m

Therefore, the number of turns is 1790turns/m

03

Calculate the total length of wire

Since the length of the solenoid is L is 40.0 cm, the total number of turns required for the solenoid is

N=nL=1790turns/m×0.400m=716turns

Therefore, the number of turns is 716

Each turn is wound around the core of the solenoid as a circle of radius r 1.40 cm (so each turn amounts tolength of the wire) and we have a total number of 716 turns, so the total length of the wire required is given by the product

I=N×2πr=716turns×(2π×0.014)=63.0m

Therefore, thetotal length of wire is 63.0m

Can potential difference between the terminals of a battery ever be opposite in direction to the emf? If it can, give an example. If it cannot, explain why not.

A typical small flashlight contains two batteries, each having an emf of1.5V, connected in series with a bulb having resistance17Ω. (a) If the internal resistance of the batteries is negligible, what power is delivered to the bulb? (b) If the batteries last for1.5hwhat is the total energy delivered to the bulb? (c) The resistance of real batteries increases as they run down. If the initial internal resistance is negligible, what is the combined internal resistance of both batteries when the power to the bulb has decreased to half its initial value? (Assume that the resistance of the bulb is constant. Actually, it will change somewhat when the current through the filament changes, because this changes the temperature of the filament and hence the resistivity of the filament wire.)

Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton’s mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion’s circulator orbit?

High-voltage power supplies are sometimes designed intentionally to have rather large internal resistance as a safety precaution. Why is such a power supply with a large internal resistance safer than a supply with the same voltage but lower internal resistance?
