A current-carrying solenoid has a paramagnetic core. At a temperature of , the magnetic field inside the solenoid is found to be greater than it would be if the core were empty space. If the temperature of the core is increased to , the new percentage increase in the magnetic field will be :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The percentage increase in the magnetic field due to the insertion of a core is given by:
where 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 :
Therefore, the percentage increase in the magnetic field is also inversely proportional to the temperature:
