An electron is observed executing uniform circular motion with a frequency of inside a tightly-wound, long solenoid. If the solenoid carries a current of , determine the number of turns per metre in the solenoid.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The frequency of revolution of an electron in a magnetic field is given by .
The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is , where is the number of turns per unit length.
Substituting into the frequency formula, we get:
Rearranging for :
