The magnetic induction produced at the centre of the air-core solenoid is B0B_0. If the air-core is replaced by an iron-core of susceptibility χ\chi, the magnetic induction is B1B_1. The ratio of B1B0\dfrac{B_1}{B_0} is

Options

  1. Aχ\chi
  2. B1−χ1 - \chi
  3. C1+χ1 + \chi
  4. D1χ\dfrac{1}{\chi}

Correct answer

C. 1+χ1 + \chi

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic induction at the centre of an air-core solenoid is given by

B0=μ0nIB_0 = \mu_0 n I

When the air-core is replaced by an iron-core of susceptibility χ\chi, the magnetic induction becomes

B1=μnIB_1 = \mu n I

The permeability of the core μ\mu is related to the relative permeability μr\mu_r and the permeability of free space μ0\mu_0 by

μ=μ0μr\mu = \mu_0 \mu_r

The relative permeability is related to the magnetic susceptibility χ\chi by

μr=1+χ\mu_r = 1 + \chi

Substituting this into the expression for B1B_1, we get

B1=μ0(1+χ)nIB_1 = \mu_0 (1 + \chi) n I

The ratio of the magnetic inductions is

B1B0=μ0(1+χ)nIμ0nI=1+χ\dfrac{B_1}{B_0} = \dfrac{\mu_0 (1 + \chi) n I}{\mu_0 n I} = 1 + \chi

Answer: 1+χ1 + \chi
