A long solenoid that has 1 170 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.420 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 10-4 T at its center. What current is required in the windings for that to occur?

    I = 28.6mA.

    The magnetic field in the center of a solenoid is given by:

    B = μ₀NI/L

    Clear I from the equation above, we obtain:

    I = BL/μ₀N

    With B = 1.00 x 10⁻⁴T, L = 0.42m, μ₀ = 4π x 10⁻⁷T. m/A and N = 1170turns

    I = [ (1.00 x 10⁻⁴T) (0.42m) ]/[ (4π x 10⁻⁷T. m/A) (1170turns) ]

    I = 0.0286A

    I = 28.6mA
