Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the radius of a long solenoid given its magnetic field strength and the induced electric field outside of it. The magnetic field inside the solenoid is defined by the equation B = 5.0t T, while the induced electric field outside is measured at 11 V/m at a distance of 2.0m from the axis. To relate the magnetic field to the electric field, the equation E_inside = r/2 |dB/dt| is referenced. The problem assumes that the magnetic flux through a circle with a 2.0 m radius only covers the cross-sectional area of the solenoid. The main challenge is connecting the internal magnetic field with the external electric field to determine the solenoid's radius.

Homework Statement



For a long solenoid, the magnetic field strength within the solenoid is given by the equation B = 5.0t T, where t is time in seconds. If the induced electric field outside the solenoid is 11 V/m at a distance 2.0m from the axis of the solenoid, find the radius of the solenoid.

Homework Equations



E_inside = r/2 |dB/dt|


The Attempt at a Solution



I know how to calculate the electric field outside the solenoid, but how can I associate the magnetic field inside of it with the electric field outside?

Assume that the magnetic flux through the 2.0 m circle extends only over the cross-sectional area of the solenoid.
