The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is

Options

  1. Adirectly proportional to its length.
  2. Bdirectly proportional to current
  3. Cinversely proportional to current
  4. Dinversely proportional to total number of turns

Correct answer

B. directly proportional to current

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is given by the formula:

B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n I

where nn is the number of turns per unit length (n=NLn = \dfrac{N}{L})andIand I is the current flowing through the solenoid.

From the formula, it is clear that the magnetic field BB is directly proportional to the current II (B∝IB \propto I).

It is directly proportional to the total number of turns NN and inversely proportional to the length LL.

Thus, the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current.

Answer: directly proportional to current
