A solenoid 10.0 cm in diameter and 85.1 cm long is made from copper wire of diameter 0.100 cm, with very thin insulation. The wire is wound onto a cardboard tube in a single layer, with adjacent turns touching each other. What power must be delivered to the solenoid if it is to produce a field of 8.90 mT at its center

Answer:

P = 29.3 W

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnetic field in a solenoid is

B = μ₀ n i

i = B /μ₀ n

where n is the density of turns

We can use a direct rule of proportions or rule of three to find the number of turns, 1 a turn has a diameter of 0.100 cm = 10⁻³ m, in the length of

L= 85.1 cm = 0.851 m how many turns there are

#_threads = 0.851 / 10⁻³

#_threads = 8.50 10³ turns

the density of turns is

n = # _threads / L

n = 8.51 103 / 0.851

n = 104 turn / m

the current that must pass through the solenoid is

i = 8.90 10-3 / 4pi 10-7 104

i = 0.70823 A

now let's find the resistance of the copper wire

R = ρ L / A

the resistivity of copper is ρ = 1.72 10⁻⁸ Ω m

wire area

A = π r²

A = π (5 10⁻⁴)

A = 7,854 10⁻⁷ m²

let's find the length of wire to build the coil, the length of a turn is

Lo = 2π r = ππ d

Lo = π 0.100

Lo = 0.314159 m / turn

With a direct proportion rule we find the length of the wire to construct the 8.5 103 turns

L = Lo #_threads

L = 0.314159 8.50 10³

L = 2.67 10³ m

resistance is

R = 1.72 10⁻⁸ 2.67 10₃ / 7.854 10⁻⁷

R = 5,847 10¹

R = 58.47 ohm

The power to be supplied to the coil is

P = VI = R i²

P = 58.47 0.70823²

P = 29.3 W
