Question

Q: A long solenoid has 108 turns/cm and carries currenti. An electron moves within the solenoid in a circle ofradius 2.03 cm perpendicular to the solenoid axis. The speed of theelectron is 0.0359c (c = speed of light). Findcurrent i. Give the answer in Ampere (A)and to three decimal places. Q: A long solenoid has 108 turns/cm and carries currenti.

Explanation / Answer

           Given that the number of turns per unit length is n = N/L = 108turns /cm = 10800 turns /m                 Radius is R = 0.0203 cm = 0.0203*10-2 m                  speedof electron is v = 0.0359c = 0.0359*3*108m/s   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------           If the electron moving in uniform magnetic field then                                       Bev = mv2 /R                                           B = mv / R*e                                               = (9.11*10-31 kg)(0.0359*3*108 m/s ) /(0.0203*10-2m*1.602*10-19C)                                                 = 30.17 *10-2 T          The magneticfield inside the solenoid is B = 0*n*I                                                                       I= B / o*n                                                                             = 0.3017 T / (4*10-7 T.m /A * 10800 turns/m )                                                                             =22.24 A
