A 2.50mHtoroidal solenoid has an average radius of 6.00cmand a cross-sectional area of 2.00V. (a) How many coils does it have? (Make the same assumption as in Example 30.3.) (b) At what rate must the current through it change so that a potential difference of 2.00Vis developed across its ends?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) the toroidal solenoid has1940coils.

(b) the current rate for potential difference to be2.00Vdeveloped across its ends is800A/s

Step by step solution

01

Define self-induction and self-inductance of toroidal solenoid

Induction of an electromotive force in a circuit by a varying current in the same circuit, is called self-induction.

Self-inductance is measure of self-induction in circuit. It is expressed as,

ε=-LdIdtwhere εis induced emf, dIdtis rate at which current changes and L is the self-inductance.

Self-inductance of toroidal solenoidal is,

L=μ0N2A2πrwhere Lis self-inductance of toroid having N turns, Aarea of cross-section and 2πrbe circumference.

02

Apply the formulae

(a) The self-inductance L=2.50mHtoroidal solenoid has an average radius of r=6.00cmand a cross-sectional area of A=2.00cm2.

The number of coils Nin the toroid is,

L=μ0N2A2πrN=2π×0.0600×2.50×10-34π×10-7×2.00×10-4N=1940

(b) The magnitude of potential difference across the coil is expressed as,

|ε|=LdIdt

dIdt=εL

dIdt=2.002.50×10-3dIdt=800A/s

From above, current rate required to have ε=2.00Vpotential difference is given as,

Therefore, (a) the toroidal solenoid has1940coils;(b) the current rate for potential difference to be2.00Vdeveloped across its ends is800A/s.
