Homework Statement
A solenoid of length 3.7 cm and diameter 0.95 cm is wound with 160 turns per cm. The current is decreasing at a rate of 38.0 A/s.
(a) What is the induced emf in one of the windings?
(b) What is the induced emf in the entire solenoid?
Homework Equations
emf = -dΦ/dt = μ0N²(A/L) di/dt
Given:
μ0 is the permeability of free space = 4π × 10-7 H/m
N is the number of turns
A is the area where the magnetic flux passes through = π(d/2)²
d is the diameter of the solenoid
L is the length of the solenoid
di/dt is the rate of change in the current
For the first part I set N=1 and for the second I set N=160
The Attempt at a Solution
4pi * 10^-7 (1)^2 (pi(.95)/2)^2/3.7 (36)
I get 9.15 E-6 which is not the correct answer and for B when I plug in the second set of numbers I get 234 milliamps or .234 amps
