$A$ solenoid $60 \;cm$ long and of radius $4.0\; cm$ has $3$ layers of windings of $300$ turns each. $A$ $2.0 \;cm$ long wire of mass $2.5\; g$ lies inside the solenoid (near its centre) normal to its axis; both the wire and the axis of the solenoid are in the horizontal plane. The wire is connected through two leads parallel to the axis of the solenoid to an external battery which supplies a current of $6.0\; A$ in the wire. What value of current (in $A$) in the windings of the solenoid can support the weight of the wire? $(g=9.8\; m \,s ^{-2})$

  • A
    $64$
  • B
    $82$
  • C
    $108$
  • D
    $156$

Give the formula for the magnetic field due to a toroid.

$A$ toroid has a core of inner radius $r_1$ and outer radius $r_2$,around which $N$ turns of wire are wound. If the current in the wire is $I$,then the magnetic field inside the toroid is $(\mu_0 = \text{permeability of free space})$

If the magnetic field inside a solenoid is $B$,then the magnetic energy stored in it per unit volume is (where $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum and $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space).

$A$ coil wrapped around a toroid has an inner radius of $20 \,cm$ and an outer radius of $25 \,cm$. If the wire wrapping makes $800$ turns and carries a current of $12 \,A$, the maximum and minimum values of the magnetic field within the toroid are:

The magnetic field intensity $H$ at the centre of a long solenoid having $n$ turns per unit length and carrying a current $I$,when no material is kept in it is ($\mu_0 =$ permeability of free space).
