The magnetic field inside a 200 turns solenoid of radius 10 cm is 2.9 $$\times$$ $$10^{-4}$$ Tesla . If the solenoid carries a current of 0.29 A , then the length of the solenoid is ________ $$\pi$$ cm.
Correct Answer: 8
The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by:
$$ B = \mu_0 n I = \mu_0 \frac{N}{L} I $$
We are given that $B = 2.9 \times 10^{-4}$ T, $N = 200$, $I = 0.29$ A, and $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$ T·m/A.
We rearrange this formula to solve for $L$:
$$ L = \frac{\mu_0 N I}{B} = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 200 \times 0.29}{2.9 \times 10^{-4}} $$
It follows that
$$ L = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 58}{2.9 \times 10^{-4}} = \frac{4\pi \times 58 \times 10^{-7}}{2.9 \times 10^{-4}} $$
Simplifying further gives
$$ = \frac{4\pi \times 20 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-4}} = 4\pi \times 20 \times 10^{-3} = 80\pi \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} $$
Finally,
$$ = 8\pi \text{ cm} $$
Therefore, the answer is 8.
