Answer to Question #290099 in Electricity and Magnetism for Peculiar

Question

A solenoid has 2000 turns on its 40cm length. What is the magnetic field intensity at its centre if it carries a current of 5A

Answer 1

The magnetic field at the centre of such a solenoid can be found as

$$B=\mu \dfrac NLI,\\\space\\ B=4\pi·10^{-7}·\dfrac{2000}{0.4}·5=0.0314\text{ T}.$$
