A superconducting solenoid is to be designed to generate a magnetic field of 5.00 T.If the solenoid winding has 1 000 turns/m,what is the required current? (µ₀ = 4p x 10^-7 T*m/A)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by B = µ₀ * n * I, where B is the magnetic field, µ₀ is the permeability of free space, n is the number of turns per unit length, and I is the current. Rearranging for I gives I = B / (µ₀ * n). Substituting the given values: I = 5.00 T / (4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A * 1000 turns/m) = 3 980 A.
