An ideal solenoid having 5000 turns/m has an aluminium core and carries a current of 5A. If χAl = 2.3 × 10-5,  then the magnetic field developed at centre will be

  • 0.031 T

  • 0.048 T

  • 0.027 T

  • 0.050 T

Solution

A.

0.031 T

Given:- 

Number of turns in solenoid  n = 5000 turns/m

Current carried i = 5A

Magnetic susceptibility  χAl = 2.3 × 10-5

  B = ?

As

   B = μo ( H + A )

where,

    H = B0μ0

Where H = magnetic intensity

          B0 = external magnetic field

          μ0 = permitivity constant

        = μ0 n iμ0

     H = ni

         = 5000 × 5

         = 2.5 × 104 A/m

and  I = χ H

           = 2.3 × 10-5 × 2.5 × 104

      I = 0.575 A/m

∴   B = μo ( H + I )

         = 4π × 10-7 ( 2.5 × 104 + 0.575 ) T

     B = 0.031 T
