Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor
 

Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor problem 28


  • Define the tesla.


  • A long solenoid has an area of cross-section of , as shown in the figure below.




    A coil C consisting of 160 turns of insulated wire is wound tightly around the centre of the solenoid. The magnetic flux density at the centre of the solenoid is given by the expression




    where is the current in the solenoid, is a constant equal to and is the permeability of free space. Calculate, for a current of in the solenoid


    • the magnetic flux density at the centre of the solenoid,


    • the flux linkage in the coil C.
