Ampere's Law, Cylinders, Solenoid & Toroid

A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field 'BB' along its axis. If the current is tripled and the number of turns per cm is halved then new value of magnetic field will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. B=μ0nI∝nIB = \mu_0 n I \propto nI.
  2. B′=μ0(n2)(3I)=32BB' = \mu_0 \left(\dfrac{n}{2}\right)(3I) = \dfrac{3}{2}B.
  3. So the answer is (c) 32B\dfrac{3}{2}B.
