Solenoid Definition and 752 Threads

I have been reading Griffith's Introduction to Electodynamics and i am currently at the chapter about magnetostatics. There is an example about a long solenoid with n units per length and radius R that shows a way of finding the magnetic vector potential. The magnetic field inside the solenoid...

I imagine the question to be like this: Take x - axis as horizontal and y - axis as vertical so the cross sectional area of the solenoid is parallel to x - y plane, then I take two parallel circles (back to back) to represent "A long solenoid with closely spaced turns". I assume there is...

So let's assume ideal wire, resistance = 0 Ohms. Also assume there is a magnetic ball 1 meter away and is attracted to the solenoid. If you have a loop of wire and run a small current through it, you get a magnetic field. This field attracts the magnetic ball, over a distance of 1 meter. If...

Here, the correct options are A,D. Solution: I got A as answer as ∫ B.dl=µI. But, the answer to the question says that it is a solenoid and therefore Bx=0 for point P. Here I'm a bit confused. I know this system resembles a solenoid in some ways, then By must have some finite value, but...

Hello guys, I am looking to control the flowrate of water through a Solenoid Valve in a continuous closed-loop process. I inquired about Proportional Flow Solenoid Valves and these are a little too expensive and only a handful of manufacturers are supplying those. But I looked online for some...

Problem 52: A solenoid is 40 cm long, has a diameter of 3.0 cm, and is wound with 500 turns. If the current through the windings is 4.0 A, what is the magnetic field at a point on the axis of the solenoid that is (a) at the center of the solenoid, (b) 10.0 cm from one end of the solenoid, and...

Here is the image ## \tan \theta _1 = \frac{a}{z} ## ## \tan \theta _2 = \frac{a}{l+z}## where l is the length of the solenoid and z is the distance from the forward center to the point P. My doubt is how ##\theta_1## going to become 0 and ##\theta_2## ##\pi## as the length of solenoid...

There are many examples of a 2 pole motor/generator having an armature wound in solenoid fashion, albeit with a steel core. In the limit as the solenoid becomes more perfectly made, long and tightly wound, it would seem not be a good design. An ideal solenoid has zero magnetic field outside...

I have a problem with the derivation above I don't get how Can someone derive this and illustrate this visually for example by using Figure 2 or using another drawing?

I'm trying to drive a transformer using a ZVS power supply. The primary coil that we use here has to be wound center tapped. The output frequency depends on the inductance of the primary winding and capacitance used in the circuit. The circuit of a ZVS power supply is as follows, The...

So the equation is L=μoμrN^2A/l I am wanting to make μr the subject and I think this is how i do it? μr = L*l/μoN^2A However when I type in this equation i am expecting to get about 200 for the relative permeability of iron. However, i am getting like 9x10-3 which is nowhere near 200. For...

If I have a solenoid with N number of turns in total. And if I say that in each turn the EMF is equal to e then can I conclude that the total EMF in the solenoid i.e. from A to B is N \times e . I’m asking this because whenever a current I flows in each turn of the solenoid then we...

In his book on electrodynamics, Griffith talks about the magnetic field outside a solenoid. Firstly instead of dealing with a typical solenoid with closely wound loops, he instead works with a cylinder with a surface current that has no z-component. To get the angular component of the B-field...

I'm not so sure how to begin with this problem. I was thinking of usign superposition. I think that the field on the conductor due to the parallel segments of the coil is zero, since Ampere's Law tells us that the field outside the solenoid is zero, right? For the perpendicular segments, I used...

∇p=j×B (eq. 1) K=nI BSolenoid=μnI⇒μK (eq. 2) ∇p=-2p0r/(a2) (eq. 3) Combining these three equations: j=-2p0r/(a2μK) (θ hat direction) Feel like this is too simple and might be missing a step any help would be much appreciated!

Homework Statement: Hello, I have to explain using numbers the Zeeman effect for hydrogen and the setup needed. I have done some research and if I'm not wrong, then a magnetic field of 1 Tesla is needed. I have no idea how to achieve that using commercially available products and how to even...

Can force produced by solenoid be converted to mechanical force and be more efficient than electric motor's force?

Plot for the ring ^ Calculations for the Square ^ Plot for square without cosg on the outside calc ^ Plot for square with cosg on the outside calc ^ As can be seen the formulas for the square conductor do not connect at R, which I'm not sure if they should or if they should not as in this...

For finding magnetic field ##B##, We see this question like two Solenoids. for the first one, we have ##\int B ds = \mu I## so ##B x_0 = \mu I n x_0 ## so ##B = \mu n I##. For the second one we have ##B = \mu_0 n I##. For the Inductance we have ##L = \mu l n^2 A## so we have ##L_1 = \mu x_0...

V=I*R 6v=I*(0.6+0.9)ohms I=4amp B=100*(uo)(2N)(I)/L * 1/2 I think since the wire is double wrapped, we multiply the equation by 2, but since we are looking for the magnetic field at the end of the wire we also have to multiply the equation by 1/2 I=4A, uo= 4pi*10^-7 2N/L turns per unit...

Is my solution reasonable? What I got from my first attempt is that the time constant won't change. WHY? Because when we double the number of loops (N) we're going to have new values for both the self inductance and the resistance of the solenoid and so the ratio (L/R) stays the same. Here is a...

I would like to make a program that produces a 2D heat map showing the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a finite length solenoid. The heat map would show the field strength along the radial and axial directions of the solenoid. I plan to divide the conductor into "infinitessimally"...

How does changing the core of the solenoid affect the current induced in the loop?

Two coils are made of copper wires of same length .In the first coil number of turns is 3n and radius is r . In the second coil number of turns is n and radius is 3r the ratio of self inductances of the coil is: I know that self inductance of a solenoid is μN2A/l ; where A = area of cross...

I know the basic equations of a solenoid carrying a current, the consequences of having an iron core inside one, and how that derives from Ampere's law. But these suggest that the only figure of merit is the cross section area of an iron core and the solenoid, not their shape. Thinking in more...

Hi, I wanted to clarify a point about the magnetic fields of a solenoid and wire. Do the fields extend to infinity? In my opinion, they don't but they can assuming the current also goes to infinity. They don't extend to infinity for a limited amount of current because they need to follow a...

I have wondered if there is a symmetric current configuration that gives the magnetic field of a half-infinite solenoid. With some thought I think I came up with such a configuration of current loops that produces the same magnetic field as a half-infinite solenoid Suppose we have a large but...

I think the real magenetic field is sum of the magnetic fields calculated in each cross section of solenoid with various angle and same center axis when i apply Ampere's law. (Imagine the cross section contains a part of center line of the solenoid) Please let me know why we don't do like that. :)

There is a solenoid of a certain radius, carrying a certain current. I draw an amperian loop of radius greater than the radius of the solenoid. If I calculate the total flux through this loop it should be, 1) Non zero for an ideal solenoid (where the field outside the core of the solenoid is...

Hi everyone, I am doing a project where I need a device with a strong magnetic field but low current. It also needs a simple relationship with the current. Solenoids and toriods are the best I can think of to use. However, because I want to keep the current low, I want to keep a high magnetic...

What is happening within an iron bar/iron core when it is wrapped by a solenoid with current running through the solenoid? Do electrons within the bar get displaced?

Homework Statement In Solenoid, is emf E= N. d(phi)/dt, or is it simply d(phi)/dt? Some books contain the latter one. It was not a big deal until i gave a thought about it. Since increasing the N, we are actually increasing the value of n, thus increasing B= (mu) .n.I So, by placing N in front...
