A long solenoid initially has a vacuum core. When a certain magnetic material is inserted into the core, the magnetic field inside the solenoid increases by 0.15%0.15\%. The relative permeability of the core material is:

Options

  1. A0.00150.0015
  2. B1.00151.0015
  3. C1.151.15
  4. D0.150.15

Correct answer

B. 1.00151.0015

Step-by-step solution

Let the initial magnetic field inside the solenoid with a vacuum core be B0=μ0nIB_0 = \mu_0 n I.

When the magnetic material is inserted, the magnetic field becomes B=μ0μrnI=μ0(1+χ)nIB = \mu_0 \mu_r n I = \mu_0 (1 + \chi) n I.

The fractional increase in the magnetic field is ΔBB0=B−B0B0=χ\dfrac{\Delta B}{B_0} = \dfrac{B - B_0}{B_0} = \chi.

Given that the percentage increase is 0.15%0.15\%, the fractional increase is χ=0.15100=0.0015\chi = \dfrac{0.15}{100} = 0.0015.

The relative permeability of the material is μr=1+χ=1+0.0015=1.0015\mu_r = 1 + \chi = 1 + 0.0015 = 1.0015.

Answer: 1.00151.0015
