NEST2018PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
A solenoid is constructed by winding a wire of diameter d around a cylinder of a fixed height h and a fixed radius r(h r d) such that a magnetic field of a fixed magnitude B is produced along the axis of the cylinder when an appropriate current is passed through the wire. The winding must be tight, with negligible space left between adjacent turns, and there is only one layer of wire on the cylinder. Choose the corre
Options
- AThe number of turns per unit length is proportional to 1 / d .
- BThe resistance of the wire is proportional to 1 / d .
- CThe current required to be passed through the wire is proportional to 1 / d .
- DThe heat produced in the wire when the requisite current is passed through it is proportional to 1 / d .
Correct answer
D. The heat produced in the wire when the requisite current is passed through it is proportional to 1 / d .
