The magnetic field B inside a long solenoid, carrying a current of 5.00 A, is 3.14 × 10–2 T. Find the number of turns per unit length of the solenoid.
Given:
Current(i) = 5 A
Magnetic field(B) = 3.14 × 10–2 T
Formula used:
Magnetic field inside a long solenoid B = μ0ni,
Where
μ0 = magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π x 10-7 T m A-1, n = number of turns per unit length, i = current carried by the wire
Hence, from the given information:
3.14 × 10–2 = 4π x 10-7 x n x 5
=> n = 5000 turns/m
Therefore, number of turns per unit length of the solenoid = 5000(Ans)
