Question

Suppose you have a long, straight solenoid  that has 760 turns of wire, a length of 82 cm, and a circular cross-section of radius 4.4 cm.


a. Calculate the self-inductance of the solenoid, assuming that is is an "ideal" solenoid (l > r).


b. At a particular moment, suppose that a current of 25 A runs through a the solenoid. At that moment how much energy is contained in the solenoid's magnetic field?


c. If the current drops from 25 A to 12 A during 0.50 s, what is the average emf induced across the inductor?


Please show work for everything.

Explanation / Answer

a)

A=pir^2 =pi*(0.044)^2

A=6.08*10^-3 m^2

L=uoN^2A/l

L=(4pi*10^-7)*760^2*6.08*10^-3/0.82

L=5.383*10^-3 H or 5.383 mH

b)

B=uoNiL/l=(4pi*10^-7)(760)(25)/(0.82)

B=0.0291 T or 29.1 mT

c)

E =L(dI/dt) =5.383*10^-3*(25-12)/0.5)

E=0.14 V
