A solenoid 10.0 cm in diameter and 70.0 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. To produce a field of 5.10 mT at the center of the solenoid, what power must be delivered to the solenoid?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The power must be delivered to the solenoid is 0.253 watt.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10.0 cm

Length = 70 .0 cm

Diameter of copper wire = 0.100 cm

Magnetic field = 5.10 mT

We need to calculate the number of turns

[tex]n=\dfrac{l}{d}[/tex]

Where, l = length

d = diameter of copper wire

Put the value into the formula

[tex]n =\dfrac{70.0}{0.100}[/tex]

[tex]n=700[/tex]

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of magnetic field

[tex]B =\dfrac{\mu n i}{l}[/tex]

[tex]i =\dfrac{Bl}{\mu n}[/tex]

Where, B = magnetic field

n = number of turns

l = length

Put the value into the formula

[tex]i =\dfrac{5.10\times10^{-3}\times70.0\times10^{-2}}{4\times3.14\times10^{-7}\times700}[/tex]

[tex]i=4.06\ A[/tex]

We need to calculate the resistance

Using formula of resistance

[tex]R =\dfrac{\rho l}{A}[/tex]

We know ,

The resistivity of the copper wire [tex]\rho=1.72\times10^{-8}\Omega-m[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]R=\dfrac{1.72\times10^{-8}\times70\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(\dfrac{0.100}{2}\times10^{-2})^2}[/tex]

[tex]R=0.0153\Omega[/tex]

We calculate the power

Using formula of power

[tex]P = i^2R[/tex]

[tex]P = 4.06^2\times0.0153[/tex]

[tex]P=0.253\ Watt[/tex]

Hence, The power must be delivered to the solenoid is 0.253 watt.
