Question

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.28 m can generate a magnetic field of 7.0 T in its core when its coils carry a current of 80 A. The windings, made of a niobium-titanium alloy, must be cooled to 4.2 K. Find the number of turns in the solenoid.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 19506.

Explanation:

Length of solenoid, L = 0.28 m

Magnetic field, B = 7 T

Current, I = 80 A

Let the number of turns is N.

The formula used to find the magnetic field is

$B = \frac{\mu 0N I}{L}\\\\7 = \frac{4 \times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times N\times 80}{0.28}\\\\N = 19506$
