a certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.64 m can generate a magnetic field of 4.5 t in its core when its coils carry a current of 80 a. the windings, made of a niobium-titanium alloy, must be cooled to 4.2 k. find the number of turns in the solenoid.80871

Answer:

The magnetic field inside a solenoid can be calculated using the formula:

B = μ₀nI

where B is the magnetic field, μ₀ is the permeability of free space (4π × 10^-7 T·m/A), n is the number of turns per unit length, and I is the current.

In this case, we can rearrange the formula to solve for n:

n = B/(μ₀I)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

n = (4.5 T)/(4π × 10^-7 T·m/A × 80 A)

n ≈ 1773 turns/m

Since the solenoid has a length of 0.64 m, the total number of turns is:

N = nL = 1773 turns/m × 0.64 m

N ≈ 1133 turns

Therefore, the solenoid has approximately 1133 turns
