A solenoid 2 cm long consists of 5653 loops of wire. If the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 4 T, what is the magnitude of the current that flows through it? A solenoid 2 cm long consists of 5653 loops of wire. If the magnetic field inside the solenoid is 4 T, what is the magnitude of the current that flows through it? 140 A 9.1×10−2 A 11 A 2.0 A
The magnetic field inside a solenoid can be calculated by the equation:
B = μ*(N/L)*i
Where B is the magnetic field, μ is the magnetic permeability (which is 1.256x10⁻⁶ T/m.A at vacuum), N is the number os loops, L is the length of the solenoid (2 cm = 0.02 m), and i the current.
