Explanation / Answer

a ) Length of the solenoid is l = 2.8 cm                                              = 0.028 m    diameter of the solenoid is d = 0.75 cm        Area of the solenoid A = p ( d^2 / 2 )                                            = 0.44*10^-4 m^2    Number of turns N = 160 current in the solenoid is I = 0.2 A              magnetic flux through the solenoid is f _B = µ _0 N I A / l                                         = 4p * 10^-7 * 160* 0.2 A * 0.44*10^-4 / 0.028 m                                          = 6.3*10^- 8 Weber b ) I = I _max e^ - t / t            = I _ max e ^-4t / t             ( time equal to 4 times constant elapsed )            = I _max e ^-4            = 0.018 I _max     option d .
