When a certain material is inserted into the empty space of a current-carrying solenoid, the magnetic field inside the solenoid increases by 0.0025%0.0025\%. The relative permeability of the inserted material is :

Options

  1. A1.0000251.000025
  2. B1.00251.0025
  3. C2.5×10−52.5 \times 10^{-5}
  4. D0.9999750.999975

Correct answer

A. 1.0000251.000025

Step-by-step solution

The percentage increase in the magnetic field is given by:
ΔB(%)=Bnew−BoldBold×100%\Delta B (\%) = \dfrac{B_{\text{new}} - B_{\text{old}}}{B_{\text{old}}} \times 100\%

Since Bold=μ0niB_{\text{old}} = \mu_0 n i and Bnew=μni=μrμ0niB_{\text{new}} = \mu n i = \mu_r \mu_0 n i, we have:
ΔB(%)=μrμ0ni−μ0niμ0ni×100%=(μr−1)×100%\Delta B (\%) = \dfrac{\mu_r \mu_0 n i - \mu_0 n i}{\mu_0 n i} \times 100\% = (\mu_r - 1) \times 100\%

We know that μr−1=χ\mu_r - 1 = \chi, where χ\chi is the magnetic susceptibility.
Given that the percentage increase is 0.0025%0.0025\% :
χ×100=0.0025\chi \times 100 = 0.0025
χ=0.0025100=2.5×10−5\chi = \dfrac{0.0025}{100} = 2.5 \times 10^{-5}

The relative permeability μr\mu_r is:
μr=1+χ=1+0.000025=1.000025\mu_r = 1 + \chi = 1 + 0.000025 = 1.000025

Answer: 1.0000251.000025
