moving-charges-and-magnetism Question 30

Question: Q. 3. A toroidal solenoid of mean radius 20 cm has 4000 turns of wire wound on a ferromagnetic core of relative permeability 800 . Calculate the magnetic field in the core for a current of 3 A passing through the coil. How does the field change, when this core is replaced by a core of Bismuth?

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans. Formula for magnetic field of toroid 1

Calculation of magnetic field 112

Effect of change of core

1/2 1/2

B=μrμ0nI

=(800×4π×107)×(40002π×20×102)×3

=9.6 T

Since Bismuth is diamagnetic, its μr<1

The magnetic field in the core will get very much reduced.

Detailed Answer :

Given :

Mean radius of toroidal solenoid =20 cm

Number of turns of wire wound =4000

Relative permeability of ferromagnetic core =800

Current passing through the coil =3 A

Magnetic field in a toroid coil :

(1)B=μ0NI2πr

Now,

B=800×4π×107×4000×32π×20×1021/2

(1)B=9.6 T

It is observed that as Bismuth is diamagnetic substance with relative permeability less than 1 , it will have a tendency to move away from the stronger to weak part of external magnetic field making the core field less as compared to empty core field.

[AI Q. 4. (i) State Ampere’s circuital law, expressing it in the integral form.

(ii) Two long co-axial insulated solenoids, S1 and S2 of equal lengths are wound one over the other as shown in the figure. A steady current " I " flows through the inner solenoid S1 to the other end B, which is connected to the other solenoid S2 through which the same current " I " flows in the opposite direction so as to come out at end A. If n1 and n2 are the number of turns per unit length, find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at a point (i) inside on the axis and (ii) outside the combined system.

U [Delhi I, II, III 2014]

Ans. (i) Ampere’s circuital law : The lineintegral of the magnetic field around a closed path is μ0 times of total current enclosed by the path.

Bdlμ0I

(Award 1 mark if the student just writes the integral form of Ampere’s circuital law)

(ii) (a)

B=μ0nI

Magnitude of net magnetic field inside the combined system on the axis,

B=B1B2 B=μ0(n1n2)I

 Also accept if the student writes B=μ0(n2n1)I

(b) Outside the combined system, the net magnetic field is zero.
