Question
A solenoid used to produce magnetic fields for research purposes is 2.1 m long, with an inner radius of 28 cm and 1300 turns of wire. When running, the solenoid produced a field of 1.3 T in the center. Given this, how large a current does it carry?

Answer:
1671 A
Explanation:
With a logical assumption that magnetic permeability of vacuum would be used,
the magnetic field at the centre of a solenoid is given by
B = μ₀I (N/L)
Some textbooks use turn density, n = (N/L)
Either ways,
B = 1.3 T
μ₀ = (4π × 10⁻⁷) H/m
I = ?
N = 1300 turns
L = 2.1 m
I = (BL/μ₀N)
I = (1.3×2.1) ÷ (4π × 10⁻⁷ × 1300)
I = 1671 A
Hope this Helps!!!
