Question

A long air-core solenoid of 420 turns, length 32 cm anddameter 3.0 cm carries a current 3.0 A at certain time. Thecurrent is increasing at a rate of 15 A/s. a) Find the self-inductance of the solenoid b.) the voltage across the solenoid at that time c.) the magnetic energy stored in the solenoid A long air-core solenoid of 420 turns, length 32 cm anddameter 3.0 cm carries a current 3.0 A at certain time.

Explanation / Answer

a ) Number of turns in a solenoid N =420                   length of the solenoid l   =0.32 m               diameter d = 3.0 cm , radius r = 0.15cm                            Area A = r2                                          = ( 0.15 cm )2                                           = 0.070*10-4 m2        self inductance of asolenoid L = 0 A N2 /l                                                   = 4 *10-7 * 0.070*10-4m2 * ( 420 )2 / 0.32 m                                                   = 4.89*10-6 H b ) Voltage across the solenoid at thattime is V = L dI / dt                                                                             = 4.89*10-6 H * 15 A / s                                                                             = 73.3*10-6 V c ) Magnetic Energy stored in a solenoid is uB = 1/2 B2 /                       magnetic field in a solenoid is B =0 N i                                                                         = 4 *10-7 * 420 * 3.0 A                                                                          =15.8*10-4 T                                                              uB   = 1/2 * ( 15.8*10-4T )2 /  4 *10-7                                                                      = 0.993 J/ m3                                                                      = 0.993 J/ m3
