Solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, twice the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid 1. How does the field B2 at the center of solenoid 2 compare to B1 at the center of solenoid 1?

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The correct option is option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of solenoid 1 is
d_1

The length of solenoid 1 is
L_1

The number of turns of solenoid is
N_1

The diameter of solenoid 2 is
d_2 = 2d_1

The length of solenoid 2 is
L_2 = 2L_1

The number of turns of solenoid 2 is
N_2 = 2 N_1

Generally the magnetic in a solenoid is mathematically represented as


B  =  (\mu_o *  N  *  I )/(L)

From this equation we see that


B  \ \alpha \  (N)/(L)


B   =  C   (N)/(L)

Here C stands for constant

=>
C =  \frac{B *  (L)/(N)

=>
\frac{B_1 *  (L_1)/(N_1)   = \frac{B_2 *  (L_2)/(N_2)

=>
(B_1)/(B_2 )  =  (N_1 L _2)/( N_2L_1)

=>
(B_1)/(B_2 )  =  (N_1 * (2 L_1))/( (2 N_2)L_1)

=>
(B_1)/(B_2 )  =  1

=>
B_2 = B_1

Solenoid 2 has twice the diameter, twice the length, and twice as many turns as solenoid-example-1
