Question

A solenoid has 850 turns per meter and carries a current of \( 1.6 \, \text{A} \). What is the magnetic
field inside it? (\( \mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m/A} \))

Explanation

**Ampere's circuital law** ∮ B·dl = μ₀ I_enc explains solenoid field, choosing rectangular Amperian loop with one side inside, one outside where B≈0, giving B L = μ₀ n L I ⇒ B = μ₀ n I. Toroid B = μ₀ N I/(2π r) inside, zero outside, field confined. Magnetic field B = μ₀ n I . B = 4 π × 10⁻⁷ × 850 × 1.6 = 5.44 π × 10⁻⁴ ≈ 1.71 × 10⁻³ T . Using F = q v B sinθ, F = I l B sinθ, B = μ₀ I/(2π r), B = μ₀ N I/(2R) and τ = N
