A current-carrying solenoid has a paramagnetic core. At a temperature of 300 K300\text{ K}, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is found to be 0.06%0.06\% greater than it would be if the core were empty space. If the temperature of the core is increased to 450 K450\text{ K}, the new percentage increase in the magnetic field will be :

Options

  1. A0.09%0.09\%
  2. B0.04%0.04\%
  3. C0.02%0.02\%
  4. D0.06%0.06\%

Correct answer

B. 0.04%0.04\%

Step-by-step solution

The percentage increase in the magnetic field due to the insertion of a core is given by:
ΔB(%)=χ×100%\Delta B (\%) = \chi \times 100\%
where χ\chi is the magnetic susceptibility of the core material.

For a paramagnetic material, Curie's Law states that the magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature TT :
χ∝1T\chi \propto \dfrac{1}{T}

Therefore, the percentage increase in the magnetic field is also inversely proportional to the temperature:
ΔB2(%)ΔB1(%)=T1T2\dfrac{\Delta B_2 (\%)}{\Delta B_1 (\%)} = \dfrac{T_1}{T_2}

Given T1=300 KT_1 = 300\text{ K}, ΔB1(%)=0.06%\Delta B_1 (\%) = 0.06\%, and T2=450 KT_2 = 450\text{ K} :
ΔB2(%)=0.06%×300450\Delta B_2 (\%) = 0.06\% \times \dfrac{300}{450}
ΔB2(%)=0.06%×23=0.04%\Delta B_2 (\%) = 0.06\% \times \dfrac{2}{3} = 0.04\%

Answer: 0.04%0.04\%
