Ampere's Law, Cylinders, Solenoid & Toroid

A long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field B along its axis. If the current is doubled and the number of turns per cm is halved, the new value of the magnetic field is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

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