Question

The windings of a circular cylindrical solenoid have 1369 turns per meter and cross-sectional radius r = 3.99 cm. A second coli having 120 loops is wrapped around the solenoid. The current in the solenoid increased from zero to I = 0.93 A in elapsed time delta t = 1.60 times 10^-3 seconds. a) Calculate the initial and final magnetic fields produced by the solenoid. b) Calculate A, the area of the solenoid cross-section. c) Calculate delta phi_B, the change in magnetic flux through the solenoid. d) Calculate the induced emf in the coil wrapped around the solenoid. e) Calculate M, the mutual inductance between the solenoid and the coil wrapped around it.

Explanation / Answer

a) Bi = 0

Bf = mue*n*I

= 4*pi*10^-7*1369*0.93

= 1.60*10^-3 T

b) A = pi*r^2

= pi*0.0399^2

= 5.00*10^-3 m^2

c) change in magnetic flux through the solenoid = A*(Bf - Bi)

= 5*10^-3*(1.6*10^-3 - 0 )

= 8.00*10^-6 T.m^2

d) induced emf in the coil = N*A*(Bf - Bi)/t

= 120*8*10^-6/(1.6*10^-3)

= 0.6 V

e) induced emf = M*dI/dt

==> M = induced emf/(dI/dt)

= 0.6/(0.93/(1.6*10^-3))

= 1.03*10^-3 H
