A solenoid of 1000 turns is wound with wire of diameter 0.1 cm and has a self inductance of 2.4 π × 10-5 H. Find (a) the cross-sectional area of the solenoid (b) the magnetic flux through one turn of the solenoid when a current of 3 A flows through it.

Answer»

Data: N = 1000, D = 0.1 cm, L = 2.4π × 10-5H

I = 3A, μ0 = 4π × 10-7 H/m

The number of turns per unit length.

n = \(\cfrac1{1\,mm}\) = 1 mm-1 = 103 m-1

and the length of the solenoid,

l = ND = 1000 × 0.1 = 100 cm = 1 m

L = μ0n2 lA

(a) The area of cross section 

A = \(\cfrac{L}{μ_ 0n^2l}\) = \(\cfrac{2.4π×10^{-5}}{(4π×10^{-7} )(10^3)^2 (1)}\) = \(\cfrac{24π}{4π}\) x 10-5

= 6 × 10-5 m2

(b) Magnetic flux through one turn, 

Φm = BA = (μ0nI)A 

= (4π × 10-7)(103)(3)(6 × 10-5

= 72π × 10-9 Wb
