The magnetic field strength at the north pole of a 2.0-cm-diameter, 8-cm-long Alnico magnet is 0.10 T. To produce the same field with a solenoid of the same size, carrying a current of 1.8 A , how many turns of wire would you need

The number of turns of the solenoid is 3536 turns

Explanation:

Given;

magnetic field of the solenoid, B = 0.1 T

current in the solenoid, I = 1.8 A

length of the solenoid, L = 8cm = 0.08m

The magnetic field near the center of the solenoid is given by;

B = μ₀nI

Where;

μ₀ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ m/A

n is number of turns per length

I is the current in the coil

The number of turns per length is calculated as;

n = B / μ₀I

n = (0.1 ) / (4π x 10⁻⁷ x 1.8)

n = 44203.95 turns/m

The number of turns is calculated as;

N = nL

N = (44203.95)(0.08)

N = 3536 turns

Therefore, the number of turns of the solenoid is 3536 turns

it is a negative acceleration
