BITSAT Physics Question (2023) — Solution

Question

A solenoid of 1200 turns is wound uniformly in a single layer on a glass tube 2 ~m long and 0.2 ~m in diameter. The magnetic intensity at the center of the solenoid when a current of 2 A flows through it is:

Options

  1. A. 2.4 10^3 Am ^ -1
  2. B. 1.2 10^3 Am ^ -1
  3. C. 1 Am ^ -1
  4. D. 2.4 10^ -3 ~A ~m ^ -1

Answer

B. 1.2 10^3 Am ^ -1

Step-by-step solution

Given that number of turns, n=1200 Current, I =2 ~A Magnetic field at centre inside the solenoid is given by, B = _0 nI So magnetic intensity at centre of the solenoid, aligned & H = B _0 = nI = ( 1200 2 )(2) ( B = _0 H ) \\ & H =1.2 10^3 Am ^ -1 aligned
