- Homework Statement
- A long solenoid with cross-sectional area A_1 surrounds another long solenoid with cross-sectional area A_2 < A_1 and resistance R. Both solenoids have the same length and the same number of turns. A current given by ##i=i_{0}cos(\omega t)## is flowing through the outer solenoid. Find an expression for the magnetic field in the inner solenoid due to the induced current.
- Relevant Equations
- ##\Delta V_{ind} = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}##
##B_{solenoid} = \mu_{0} n i##
My textbook solved it by first finding the induced voltage in the inner solenoid but they found it by saying ##-\Delta V_{ind} = A_{2} \frac{d\Phi}{dt}##, but they did not include the number of turns in the solenoid, but I think they should have done that. their final answer is ##\Large \frac{\mu_{0}^{2} n^{2} A_{2} i_{0} \omega sin(\omega t)}{R}## but I think the right answer should be $$\frac{\mu_{0}^{2} n^{3} l A_{2} i_{0} \omega sin(\omega t)}{R}$$
